Type 1 diabetes mellitus with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy (left eye)
ICD-10 E10.3552 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy (left eye).
E10.3552 refers to Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by the presence of stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the left eye. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a severe complication of diabetes, marked by the growth of new blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss. The term 'stable' indicates that the condition has not progressed or worsened, which is crucial for treatment planning and monitoring. Management of Type 1 diabetes typically involves insulin therapy, regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, and maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% to prevent complications. The presence of diabetic retinopathy necessitates regular ophthalmologic evaluations to monitor retinal health and prevent further complications.
Detailed records of diabetes management, including insulin regimens and HbA1c levels.
Patients presenting with uncontrolled blood glucose levels or complications related to diabetes.
Ensure documentation reflects the type of diabetes and any complications accurately.
Comprehensive eye examination reports, including findings related to diabetic retinopathy.
Routine eye exams for diabetic patients, monitoring for progression of retinopathy.
Document the stability of retinopathy and any treatment provided.
Used during routine eye exams for diabetic patients.
Document findings related to diabetic retinopathy and any treatment provided.
Ophthalmologists should ensure detailed documentation of retinopathy status.
In this context, 'stable' indicates that the proliferative diabetic retinopathy has not progressed or worsened since the last evaluation, which is important for treatment planning.
