Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the E10 range.
Diabetes Complications
Conditions or pathological processes associated with the disease of diabetes mellitus. Due to the impaired control of BLOOD GLUCOSE level in diabetic patients, pathological processes develop in numerous tissues and organs including the EYE, the KIDNEY, the BLOOD VESSELS, and the NERVE TISSUE.
Diabetes Mellitus
A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
Diabetes Mellitus, Experimental
Diabetes mellitus induced experimentally by administration of various diabetogenic agents or by PANCREATECTOMY.
Diabetes Mellitus, Lipoatrophic
A type of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by severe INSULIN RESISTANCE and LIPODYSTROPHY. The latter may be generalized, partial, acquired, or congenital (LIPODYSTROPHY, CONGENITAL GENERALIZED).
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
Diabetes, Gestational
Diabetes mellitus induced by PREGNANCY but resolved at the end of pregnancy. It does not include previously diagnosed diabetics who become pregnant (PREGNANCY IN DIABETICS). Gestational diabetes usually develops in late pregnancy when insulin antagonistic hormones peaks leading to INSULIN RESISTANCE; GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; and HYPERGLYCEMIA.
Diabetic Foot
Common foot problems in persons with DIABETES MELLITUS, caused by any combination of factors such as DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES; PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES; and INFECTION. With the loss of sensation and poor circulation, injuries and infections often lead to severe foot ulceration, GANGRENE and AMPUTATION, SURGICAL.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
A life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus, primarily of TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS with severe INSULIN deficiency and extreme HYPERGLYCEMIA. It is characterized by KETOSIS; DEHYDRATION; and depressed consciousness leading to COMA.
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults
Autoimmune diabetes in adults with slowly progressive PANCREATIC BETA CELL failure and the presence of circulating autoantibodies to PANCREATIC ISLETS cell antigens.
Pancreatectomy
Surgical removal of the pancreas. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Polyendocrinopathies, Autoimmune
Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple endocrine organs. Type I is characterized by childhood onset and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CANDIDIASIS, CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS), while type II exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (ADDISON'S DISEASE), lymphocytic thyroiditis (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE;), HYPOPARATHYROIDISM; and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific ANTIBODIES against a variety of ENDOCRINE GLANDS have been detected. The type II syndrome differs from type I in that it is associated with HLA-A1 and B8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present.
Wolfram Syndrome
A hereditary condition characterized by multiple symptoms including those of DIABETES INSIPIDUS; DIABETES MELLITUS; OPTIC ATROPHY; and DEAFNESS. This syndrome is also known as DIDMOAD (first letter of each word) and is usually associated with VASOPRESSIN deficiency. It is caused by mutations in gene WFS1 encoding wolframin, a 100-kDa transmembrane protein.
About the E10 Code Range
ICD-10 codes for Type 1 diabetes mellitus (E10) precisely document the diagnosis of this autoimmune condition and its related complications, ranging from ketoacidosis to eye, kidney, neurological, circulatory, skin, and oral issues.
The section covers general Type 1 diabetes mellitus (E10) and specifies important complications like ketoacidosis without coma (E10.10)—often known as diabetic ketoacidosis—and with coma (E10.11), highlighting critical metabolic emergencies. Kidney involvement is detailed under codes like E10.21 for diabetic nephropathy and E10.22 for chronic kidney disease linked to diabetes. Specialized codes for diverse ophthalmic complications capture diabetic retinopathy severities, macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma manifestations identified as outcomes of Type 1 diabetes, with terms such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy linked to codes like E10.35. Neurological complications including diabetic neuropathy and polyneuropathy are recorded within E10.4x codes. Circulatory issues like peripheral angiopathy (E10.51) and gangrene (E10.52) further specify vascular involvement. Skin and foot ulcers are represented, reflecting common diabetic dermopathies. The category even includes hypoglycemia codes distinguishing coma presence and hyperglycemia states. Additionally, codes like E10.9 identify well-controlled or uncomplicated Type 1 diabetes, while E10.A represents presymptomatic stages.
Using these ICD-10 codes for Type 1 diabetes mellitus helps medical coders accurately capture the disease’s full clinical picture, supporting appropriate treatment plans and monitoring by linking common terms like ketoacidosis, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot ulcer directly to their specific codes.
