ICD-10 Code E09.2 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with kidney complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E09.2 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with kidney complications
What it is
This code identifies diabetes caused by a drug or chemical, with kidney complications linked to that condition. Use it when documentation shows the diabetes is secondary to the substance exposure and renal involvement is present.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Kidney involvement may be described as diabetic nephropathy, renal impairment, or other documented renal complications associated with the induced diabetes.
When to use this code
Use E09.2 when the provider documents drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus and specifically links it to kidney complications. The record should support both the induced cause and the renal manifestation. If the cause or complication is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, or for kidney disease without documented drug- or chemical-induced diabetes. If the diabetes is not clearly attributed to a substance, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the underlying drug or chemical exposure and any documented renal complication together, using the record’s exact wording.
