Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (unspecified eye)
ICD-10 E09.3599 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (unspecified eye).
E09.3599 refers to diabetes mellitus that has been induced by drugs or chemicals, leading to complications such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema in an unspecified eye. This condition arises when certain medications or toxic substances disrupt normal glucose metabolism, resulting in hyperglycemia and subsequent diabetic complications. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the growth of new blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss if not managed properly. The absence of macular edema indicates that the central part of the retina is not swollen, which can be a more favorable prognosis. Management of this condition often involves controlling blood glucose levels through insulin therapy and monitoring HbA1c levels to assess long-term glucose control. Regular eye examinations are crucial to detect and manage retinal changes early, thereby preventing severe visual impairment.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and management plans.
Patients presenting with hyperglycemia due to medication, requiring insulin management.
Ensure clear documentation of the drug responsible for diabetes onset.
Comprehensive eye examination findings, including retinal imaging results.
Patients with diabetic retinopathy requiring laser treatment or monitoring.
Document the absence of macular edema clearly to support coding.
Used for routine eye exams in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
Document findings of the eye examination and any treatments provided.
Ophthalmologists should ensure that the examination details are comprehensive.
Certain medications, including corticosteroids, antipsychotics, and some antihypertensives, can induce diabetes by affecting insulin secretion or action.
