End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) ICD-10-CM Codes

The primary treatment options for ESRD are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

ESRD can have a systemic impact, affecting other organs and systems, such as the cardiovascular system, leading to heart disease and the endocrine system, causing hormonal imbalances.

Lifestyle changes for managing ESRD include adhering to a renal-friendly diet, regular exercise within tolerance levels, and avoiding substances that can further damage the kidneys, such as alcohol and certain medications.
