Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with circulatory complications
ICD-10 E09.5 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with circulatory complications.
Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with circulatory complications refers to diabetes that arises as a direct result of exposure to certain medications or chemicals. This condition is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to the pharmacological effects of drugs such as glucocorticoids, antipsychotics, and certain chemotherapy agents. The circulatory complications associated with this type of diabetes can include peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Patients may present with symptoms such as fatigue, increased thirst, and frequent urination, alongside complications that affect blood flow and circulation. Management typically involves monitoring blood glucose levels, adjusting medication regimens, and implementing lifestyle changes. The presence of circulatory complications necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to care, often involving endocrinologists, cardiologists, and primary care providers to optimize patient outcomes.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and evidence of circulatory complications.
Patients presenting with new-onset diabetes after starting corticosteroids.
Endocrinologists must ensure that the link between medication and diabetes is clearly documented.
Assessment of circulatory complications and their management.
Patients with diabetes presenting with peripheral vascular disease or hypertension.
Cardiologists should document the impact of diabetes on cardiovascular health.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document patient's medication history, HbA1c levels, and circulatory complications.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive assessments are documented.
Common medications include glucocorticoids, certain antipsychotics, and some chemotherapy agents. It's important to document any medication changes that may contribute to the onset of diabetes.
