Type 1 diabetes mellitus with other diabetic kidney complication
ICD-10 E10.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with other diabetic kidney complication.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Patients with this condition often experience various complications, including diabetic kidney disease, which can manifest as diabetic nephropathy. This specific code, E10.29, is used when a patient with type 1 diabetes presents with other diabetic kidney complications that do not fall under the more common classifications of diabetic nephropathy. These complications may include conditions such as diabetic glomerulosclerosis or other forms of renal impairment related to diabetes. Management of type 1 diabetes and its complications typically involves regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% to reduce the risk of complications, and insulin therapy. Insulin management may vary based on the patient's lifestyle, dietary habits, and the presence of other comorbidities. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document the specific nature of the kidney complications to ensure accurate coding and appropriate management.
Detailed records of blood glucose levels, HbA1c results, and insulin regimen.
Patients presenting with uncontrolled diabetes and renal impairment.
Ensure that all diabetes-related complications are documented, including specific kidney issues.
Comprehensive renal function tests and assessments of diabetic kidney disease.
Patients with chronic kidney disease secondary to diabetes.
Document the stage of kidney disease and any interventions or treatments provided.
Used to monitor diabetes control in patients with E10.29.
Document the date of the test and results.
Endocrinologists should ensure regular HbA1c testing is performed.
Common complications include diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Each complication requires specific management and coding.
