Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (bilateral)
ICD-10 E10.3533 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 (bilateral).
E10.3533 refers to a specific condition in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) that has led to traction retinal detachment, affecting both eyes but not involving the macula. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a severe form of diabetic eye disease where new, abnormal blood vessels grow on the retina, which can lead to vision loss. The traction retinal detachment occurs when these abnormal vessels pull on the retina, causing it to detach from the underlying tissue. This condition is particularly concerning as it can lead to significant visual impairment if not treated promptly. Management typically involves monitoring HbA1c levels to maintain glycemic control, as elevated levels can exacerbate retinal complications. Insulin therapy is often required to manage blood glucose levels effectively. Regular ophthalmologic evaluations are crucial for early detection and intervention, which may include laser therapy or surgical options to address the retinal detachment.
Detailed retinal examination findings, including the extent of retinopathy and any surgical interventions performed.
Patients presenting with vision changes, requiring laser treatment or vitrectomy for retinal detachment.
Ensure clear documentation of the type of retinal detachment and its impact on vision.
Comprehensive records of diabetes management, including insulin regimens and HbA1c levels.
Patients with poorly controlled diabetes presenting with complications.
Document the relationship between glycemic control and the development of diabetic retinopathy.
Used for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Document the extent of treatment and follow-up care.
Ophthalmology should provide detailed reports on the procedure.
Accurate coding of E10.3533 is crucial for proper reimbursement, ensuring that patients receive appropriate care for their diabetes and its complications, and for tracking the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in the population.
