Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (right eye)
ICD-10 E09.3391 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (right eye).
E09.3391 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, specifically characterized by moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy in the right eye without macular edema. This condition arises when certain medications or substances disrupt normal glucose metabolism, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. The presence of moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy indicates that there are changes in the retinal blood vessels, which may include microaneurysms and retinal hemorrhages, but without the presence of macular edema, which is a more severe complication. Management of this condition typically involves controlling blood glucose levels through lifestyle modifications, oral hypoglycemic agents, or insulin therapy, depending on the severity of the diabetes. Regular eye examinations are crucial to monitor the progression of retinopathy and to prevent further complications, such as vision loss.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with elevated blood glucose levels after starting new medications.
Ensure clear documentation of the relationship between drug use and diabetes onset.
Comprehensive eye exam results, including retinal imaging and assessment of retinopathy.
Patients with diabetes presenting for routine eye exams or vision changes.
Document the absence of macular edema and the degree of retinopathy accurately.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document patient's diabetes management plan and any changes in medication.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive documentation of diabetes control.
Common medications that can induce diabetes include corticosteroids, certain antipsychotics, and thiazide diuretics. It is important to document any recent medication changes in the patient's history.
