Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (bilateral)
ICD-10 E10.3543 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with combined traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (bilateral).
E10.3543 describes a severe complication of Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), which is the advanced stage of diabetic eye disease. In this condition, abnormal blood vessels grow on the retina, leading to potential vision loss. The presence of both traction retinal detachment and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment indicates that the retina is being pulled away from its normal position due to scar tissue (traction) and also has tears or breaks (rhegmatogenous). This dual pathology can significantly impair vision and requires urgent intervention. Management often involves laser therapy, vitrectomy, or other surgical procedures to address the retinal detachments. The complexity of this condition necessitates careful monitoring of blood glucose levels, as poor glycemic control can exacerbate retinal complications. Regular ophthalmologic evaluations are crucial for early detection and treatment of these complications.
Comprehensive diabetes management records, including HbA1c levels, insulin regimen, and patient education.
Management of Type 1 diabetes with complications, adjustments in insulin therapy based on glycemic control.
Ensure documentation reflects the impact of diabetes on overall health and any changes in treatment plans.
Detailed eye examination reports, imaging studies, and treatment plans for retinal detachment.
Surgical interventions for retinal detachment, monitoring of diabetic retinopathy progression.
Document the specific type of retinal detachment and any surgical procedures performed.
Used for treating proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Document the extent of treatment and follow-up care.
Ophthalmology should provide detailed reports on the procedure.
Accurate coding of E10.3543 is crucial for proper reimbursement, tracking of diabetes complications, and ensuring that patients receive appropriate care for their condition.
