CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) ICD-10-CM Codes

CKD, or Chronic Kidney Disease, is a long-term condition where the kidneys are not working as well as they should. It's a progressive disease that often goes unnoticed until the advanced stages.

Symptoms of CKD are typically not noticeable in the early stages. In the advanced stages, symptoms can include fatigue, swollen feet or hands, shortness of breath, and frequent urination.

The two primary causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure, responsible for up to two-thirds of the cases. Other conditions that affect the kidneys can also cause CKD.
