0.000What This Code Means
Type 2 diabetes with other kidney complications besides the main types, such as diabetic glomerulonephritis or other kidney disorders caused by diabetes.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the kidney complication is not nephropathy or chronic kidney disease
- •Document the specific kidney complication in the medical record for clarity
Clinical Significance
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other diabetic kidney complication captures renal conditions attributable to diabetes that are not classified as nephropathy or chronic kidney disease, such as Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease (nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis), diabetic papillary necrosis, or other specific renal pathology from diabetes. These conditions indicate significant renal microvascular damage requiring specialized nephrology management.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓The medical record must identify the specific renal complication and establish its causal relationship to Type 2 diabetes.
- ✓Kidney biopsy results, if obtained, should be documented along with renal function tests and imaging findings.
- ✓The provider must confirm the condition does not fit the nephropathy (E11.21) or chronic kidney disease (E11.22) categories.
Commonly Confused Codes
E11.21 (diabetic nephropathy) is the most common diabetic renal code and should be used when nephropathy is documented.E11.22 (diabetic chronic kidney disease) is for staged CKD attributable to diabetes.N08 (glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere) may be used as an additional manifestation code alongside this combination code.
