Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema (unspecified eye)
ICD-10 E09.3219 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema (unspecified eye).
E09.3219 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, characterized by the presence of mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in an unspecified eye. This condition arises when certain medications, such as corticosteroids or antipsychotics, lead to insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. The mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy indicates early changes in the retina due to diabetes, including microaneurysms and retinal hemorrhages, while macular edema signifies fluid accumulation in the macula, potentially affecting vision. Management of this condition typically involves controlling blood glucose levels through lifestyle modifications, oral hypoglycemic agents, or insulin therapy, alongside monitoring and treating the ocular complications to prevent vision loss.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and management plans.
Patients presenting with elevated blood glucose levels after starting new medications.
Ensure clear documentation of the relationship between medication and diabetes onset.
Comprehensive eye examination findings, including retinal imaging results.
Patients with diabetes presenting for routine eye exams showing signs of retinopathy.
Document the severity of retinopathy and any treatment provided for macular edema.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document patient's diabetes management plan and any changes in medication.
Endocrinologists should ensure thorough documentation of diabetes control and retinopathy assessment.
Medications such as corticosteroids, certain antipsychotics, and thiazide diuretics are known to induce diabetes by affecting insulin sensitivity or secretion.
