Show ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes: E11.321–Mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, with macular edema
DEFINITIONDiabetes Diabetes mellitus is a complex, multifactorial and heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by endogenous insulin deficiency and/or insulin resistance. The disease manifests itself as a state of chronic hyperglycemia with attendant microvascular and macrovascular complications.
Macular edema may be present in any stage of diabetic retinopathy and is defined as any one of the following:
NATURAL HISTORYStructural Damage to the Eye
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATIONThe main goal of the diagnostic evaluation in a patient with diabetic retinopathy is to accomplish the following:
The severity of the symptoms or signs is varied and depends on the level of control the patient has over their diabetes. Patients can present with the following abnormal symptoms:
The retinal changes associated with diabetic retinopathy include the following:
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS Refraction
Hybrid retinal cameras allow the user to take color photography and one-shot Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging.
CLASSIFICATIONDiabetic macular edema is classified base on the proximity of retinal thickening or hard exudates to the center of the macula.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSESThis would include any eye diseases that produce changes in the retinal vasculature such as hemorrhages, microaneurysms, edema, and exudates.
TREATMENT OPTIONSMost cases of clinically significant macular edema require laser surgery for effective treatment.
Vitrectomy is a technique in which the vitreous is surgically removed along with the posterior hyaloid. One theory is a vitrectomy may help reduce traction on the macula and this in turn reduces the macular edema. Another theory hypothesis that removing the vitreous removes the cytokines and VEGF associated with a venous occlusive episode. There is no evidence that a vitrectomy is the best treatment.

What is nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema?Definition: Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) is the most common form of diabetic retinopathy. Early stages consist of edema and hard exudates, lipid that has leaked from abnormal blood vessels, in the central retina, resulting in blurred central vision.
What is the difference between nonDiabetic retinopathy falls into two main classes: nonproliferative and proliferative. The word "proliferative" refers to whether or not there is neovascularization (abnormal blood vessel growth) in the retinaEarly disease without neovascularization is called nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

H59. 033 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM H59. 033 became effective on October 1, 2022.
What is severe nonproliferative retinopathy?In this more common form — called nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) — new blood vessels aren't growing (proliferating). When you have NPDR , the walls of the blood vessels in your retina weaken. Tiny bulges protrude from the walls of the smaller vessels, sometimes leaking fluid and blood into the retina.
