Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (bilateral)
ICD-10 E09.3533 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (bilateral).
E09.3533 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, leading to significant complications such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and traction retinal detachment. PDR is characterized by the growth of new blood vessels on the retina, which can lead to severe vision impairment. In this case, the traction retinal detachment does not involve the macula, which is crucial for central vision. The condition is often associated with poor glycemic control, indicated by elevated HbA1c levels, and may require insulin management to stabilize blood glucose levels. The presence of bilateral traction retinal detachment complicates the clinical picture, necessitating careful monitoring and potential surgical intervention. This code highlights the importance of recognizing the underlying cause of diabetes, as well as the need for comprehensive management of diabetic complications.
Detailed history of diabetes management, including medications and HbA1c levels.
Patients with drug-induced diabetes requiring insulin therapy.
Ensure documentation reflects the cause of diabetes and its management.
Comprehensive eye exam findings, including details on retinopathy and retinal detachment.
Patients presenting with vision changes due to diabetic retinopathy.
Document the extent of retinal detachment and any surgical interventions performed.
Used for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Document the extent of retinopathy and treatment plan.
Ophthalmology must provide detailed findings to support the procedure.
The bilateral aspect indicates that both eyes are affected by traction retinal detachment, which is critical for treatment planning and understanding the severity of the condition.
