Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula (left eye)
ICD-10 E10.3522 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula (left eye).
E10.3522 refers to a specific complication of Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) that has progressed to include traction retinal detachment affecting the macula in the left eye. PDR is a severe form of diabetic retinopathy where new, abnormal blood vessels grow on the retina, which can lead to vision loss. The presence of traction retinal detachment indicates that these abnormal vessels have pulled on the retina, causing it to detach from the underlying tissue. This condition is often associated with poorly controlled blood glucose levels over time, leading to elevated HbA1c levels. Management typically involves insulin therapy to control blood glucose levels, alongside potential surgical interventions such as vitrectomy to address the retinal detachment. Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection and management of diabetic eye complications.
Detailed eye examination findings, including visual acuity and retinal imaging results.
Patients presenting with vision changes, floaters, or signs of retinal detachment.
Ensure clear documentation of the extent of retinal detachment and any surgical interventions performed.
Comprehensive diabetes management records, including HbA1c levels and insulin regimen.
Patients with poorly controlled diabetes presenting with complications.
Document the patient's diabetes management plan and any referrals to ophthalmology.
Used for treatment of PDR in patients with traction retinal detachment.
Document the extent of laser treatment and patient response.
Ophthalmology should provide detailed operative notes.
Specifying the left eye is crucial for treatment planning and documentation, as it indicates the specific eye affected by the complications of diabetic retinopathy, which can influence management strategies.
