Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Retinal Dysplasia

    congenital, often bilateral, retinal abnormality characterized by the arrangement of outer nuclear retinal cells in a palisading or radiating pattern surrounding a central ocular space. this disorder is sometimes hereditary.
  • Nephrocystin-1|Juvenile Nephronophthisis 1 Protein|NPHP1

    nephrocystin-1 (732 aa, ~83 kda) is encoded by the human nphp1 gene. this protein is involved in the modulation of signaling.
  • Nephronophthisis

    progressive tubulointerstitial injury, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, caused by mutations in genes involved in ciliary function, which may result in an end stage renal failure.
  • Nephronophthisis 1|Familial Juvenile Nephronophthisis|Juvenile Nephronophthisis|NPH1

    progressive tubulointerstitial nephritis inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. it is caused by mutations in the nphp1 gene. patients present with anemia, polyuria, and polydipsia during childhood. the progressive bilateral kidney damage results in renal failure.
  • NPHP1 Gene|NPHP1|NPHP1|Nephronophthisis 1 (Juvenile) Gene

    this gene is involved in the mediation of signal transduction.
  • NPHP1 wt Allele|FLJ97602|JBTS4|NPH1|Nephronophthisis 1 (Juvenile) wt Allele|SLSN1

    human nphp1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q13 and is approximately 83 kb in length. this allele, which encodes nephrocystin-1 protein, plays a role in the progression of adhesion-dependent signaling pathways. mutations in the gene are associated with familial juvenile nephronophthisis type 1, senior-loken syndrome type 1, and joubert syndrome type 4.
  • Microcornea

    a congenital abnormality characterized by an abnormally small cornea. the horizontal corneal diameter is less than 10mm or less than 9mm in newborns. it is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Index to Diseases and Injuries References

The following annotation back-references for this diagnosis code are found in the injuries and diseases index. The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10-CM code(s).

Present on Admission (POA)

Q14.1 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

CMS POA Indicator Options and Definitions

POA IndicatorReason for CodeCMS will pay the CC/MCC DRG?
YDiagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission.YES
NDiagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission.NO
UDocumentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.NO
WClinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.YES
1Unreported/Not used - Exempt from POA reporting. NO

Convert Q14.1 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 743.56 - Cong retinal changes NEC
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Retinal Disorders

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.

Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Examples are:

  • Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye
  • Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children.
  • Macular pucker - scar tissue on the macula
  • Macular hole - a small break in the macula that usually happens to people over 60
  • Floaters - cobwebs or specks in your field of vision

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
