Type 1 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment not involving the macula (unspecified eye)
ICD-10 E10.3539 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 (unspecified eye).
E10.3539 refers to a specific complication of Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) that has progressed to include traction retinal detachment, but notably does not involve the macula. PDR is a severe form of diabetic retinopathy where new, abnormal blood vessels grow on the retina, which can lead to vision loss. The traction retinal detachment occurs when these new vessels pull on the retina, causing it to detach from the underlying tissue. This condition is serious and requires prompt intervention to prevent irreversible vision loss. Management typically involves monitoring HbA1c levels to ensure optimal glycemic control, as elevated levels can exacerbate retinal complications. Insulin therapy is often necessary to manage blood glucose levels effectively. Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, and patients may require laser therapy or surgical intervention to address the detachment.
Detailed retinal examination findings, treatment plans, and follow-up care.
Patients presenting with vision changes, requiring laser treatment for PDR.
Ensure clear documentation of retinal findings and treatment outcomes.
Comprehensive diabetes management records, including HbA1c levels and insulin regimen.
Patients with poorly controlled diabetes presenting with complications.
Document the relationship between glycemic control and retinal complications.
Used for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Document the indication for laser treatment and the extent of the procedure.
Ophthalmology should ensure detailed records of the procedure and patient response.
Specifying traction retinal detachment is crucial as it indicates a more severe complication of diabetic retinopathy that requires different management strategies compared to non-traction detachment.
