Hypertensive heart disease and chronic kidney disease
Official text from the FY2027 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The wording is quoted exactly.
Guidelines I.C.9.a.2; I.C.9.a.3
“The appropriate code from category N18 should be used as a secondary code with a code from category I12 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.”
“The appropriate code from category N18, Chronic kidney disease, should be used as a secondary code with a code from category I13 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.”
“If a patient has hypertension, heart disease and chronic kidney disease, then a code from I13 should be used, not codes from I11 or I12.”
