good morning has there been a change in coding anemia and CKD with ICd 10.
I always thought the doctor has to specifically state Anemia due to, in CKD a linking term? Has this changed in ICD10 when I look up anemia in the tabular it does state due to (in) (with) and I know now that DM with and the condition listed is now automatically assumed a cause and effect. Wasn't sure for anemia since it states due to not with.
thank you

I don't think either, CKD is only linked with hypertension without stating a relationship nothing else.
