renal stenosis/diab and PVD
We have a patient that the physician has documented renal stenosis and the
patient is a diabetic.
Would this be considered E11.29 (diab with other diabetic kidney
complication) or would the physician need to specify this.
We also have another pt that is a diabetic and also has a dx of PVD and CAD
– are these assumed relationships as well and would that make the diabetes
code be E11.59?
