ICD-10 Code E08.22 – Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with diabetic chronic kidney disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E08.22 – Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with diabetic chronic kidney disease
What it is
This code identifies diabetes that results from another underlying condition and is complicated by chronic kidney disease. Use it when the record links the diabetes to CKD and the diabetes is not type 1 or type 2.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see documented diabetes with chronic kidney disease, renal impairment, or diabetic kidney disease noted together in the chart.
When to use this code
Use E08.22 when the provider documents diabetes due to an underlying condition and specifies chronic kidney disease as a complication. The record should support both the secondary diabetes and the CKD relationship. If the cause of diabetes is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 or type 2 diabetes with CKD. Do not assign it when CKD is present but diabetes is not documented as due to another underlying condition.
Coding tip
Verify the causal link in the note, and code the underlying condition separately when the documentation supports it.
