"End organ damage due to uncontrolled hypertension including chronic kidney disease and hypertensive cardiomyopathy."

How would you code this?

404.90
585.9
425.4

???
I'm not sure if this is right... anyone have any suggestions please?

you would code only the 404.90 and the 585.9 you do not add the code for the cardiomyopathy.

agree only code the 404.90 and the 585.9

I agree with coding it 404.90 with the additional code 585.9.

Code 404.9x includes both hypertensive heart and hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified as benign or malignant.

The note section includes "Use additional code to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease", which in this case is unspecified, 585.9.
