Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease
ICD-10 I12.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease.
Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition where high blood pressure leads to significant kidney damage. This stage indicates that the kidneys are functioning at less than 15% of their normal capacity, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival. Patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and changes in urination. Management typically involves controlling blood pressure through medications, dietary changes, and regular monitoring of kidney function. It is crucial for patients to engage in a comprehensive care plan with their healthcare provider to mitigate complications.
Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, and changes in urination.
Treatment often involves dialysis or kidney transplantation.
