Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (left eye)
ICD-10 E10.3532 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (left eye).
E10.3532 refers to a specific condition in which a patient with Type 1 diabetes mellitus develops proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), characterized by the growth of new blood vessels on the retina, leading to complications such as traction retinal detachment. In this case, the detachment does not involve the macula, which is crucial for central vision. PDR is a severe complication of diabetes that can lead to significant vision loss if not managed appropriately. The presence of traction retinal detachment indicates that the new blood vessels have caused the retina to pull away from its underlying supportive tissue. Management of this condition typically involves careful monitoring of blood glucose levels, maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% to reduce the risk of complications, and may require surgical intervention such as vitrectomy. Regular eye examinations are essential for early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Detailed descriptions of retinal findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with vision changes, diabetic eye exams, and surgical interventions for retinal detachment.
Ensure clarity in documenting the type of retinal detachment and its implications for vision.
Comprehensive management plans for diabetes, including HbA1c levels and insulin therapy adjustments.
Routine diabetes management visits, complications assessment, and referrals to ophthalmology.
Document the patient's overall diabetes management and its impact on ocular health.
Used for treating proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Document the extent of treatment and follow-up care.
Ophthalmologists must document the rationale for laser treatment.
Specifying the eye affected is crucial for treatment planning and understanding the severity of the condition, as interventions may differ based on whether the right or left eye is involved.
