Type 2 diabetes mellitus w oth diabetic kidney complication

This code signifies type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by a kidney condition other than diabetic nephropathy (e.g., diabetic glomerulosclerosis) or chronic kidney disease. It indicates renal involvement directly attributable to the patient's type 2 diabetes, but not specifically categorized as the more common diabetic kidney diseases.

Use this code when documentation specifies type 2 diabetes and a diabetic-related kidney complication that is not explicitly diabetic nephropathy or a stage of chronic kidney disease. Examples include diabetic tubulointerstitial disease or other specified diabetic renal conditions. Ensure the physician explicitly links the kidney complication to the diabetes.

• Always sequence the diabetes code first, followed by codes for specific manifestations.
• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies diabetic nephropathy (E11.21) or diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11.22).
• Ensure the medical record clearly states the "other" kidney complication is a direct result of the diabetes.
