ICD-10 Code I95.3 – Hypotension of hemodialysis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I95.3 – Hypotension of hemodialysis
What it is
I95.3 identifies low blood pressure occurring during or related to hemodialysis. It is used when the record specifically links the hypotension to the dialysis procedure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes may describe dizziness, weakness, nausea, cramping, or a documented blood pressure drop during treatment.
When to use this code
Use I95.3 when the provider documents hypotension as a complication of hemodialysis or states that it occurred during the dialysis session. It may apply to outpatient or inpatient dialysis encounters. Check documentation for the causal link and whether the episode is acute.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hypotension unrelated to dialysis, or when the record does not connect the low blood pressure to hemodialysis. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Coding tip
Code I95.3 only when the chart explicitly ties hypotension to hemodialysis; otherwise, code the documented condition instead.
