Hypertension: High blood pressure, usually a chronic condition; often identified by a systolic blood pressure above 140 mm/Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm/Hg.
What are the correct codes for a patient diagnosed with hypertensive chronic kidney disease, stage 2?
- I12.0, N18.1
- I12.0, N18.2
- I12.9, N18.1
- I12.9, N18.2
I12.9 and N18.2 are the correct codes for a patient diagnosed with hypertensive chronic kidney disease, stage 2. I12.9: Index>hypertension>kidney>with stage 1-4 chronic kidney disease. N18.2: Index>disease>kidney>chronic>stage 2. See instructional note Use additional code to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease under code I12.9.
Chronic: Long duration; continuing over a long period of time.

- <90/60
- 90-120/60-80
- 120-139/80-89

A patient with hypertension stage 1 has the systolic/diastolic measurement of 140–159/90–99.
Hypertension: High blood pressure, usually a chronic condition; often identified by a systolic blood pressure above 140 mm/Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm/Hg.
Which of the following is used to measure a patient's blood pressure?
- Chest x-ray
- Sphygmomanometer
- Ophthalmoscopy
- Electrocardiogram
A health professional will use a sphygmomanometer to measure a patient's blood pressure.
Elevated Blood Pressure: An occurrence of high blood pressure; an isolated or infrequent reading of a systolic blood pressure above 140 mm/Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm/Hg.
What is the systolic/diastolic measurement for a patient diagnosed with prehypertension?
- <90/60
- 90-120/60-80
- 120-139/80-89
- 140-159/90-99
A patient with prehypertension has the systolic/diastolic measurement of 120–139/80–89.
Hypertension: High blood pressure, usually a chronic condition; often identified by a systolic blood pressure above 140 mm/Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm/Hg.
What is the correct code for a patient diagnosed with chronic hypotension?
- I10
- I95.81
- R03.0
- I95.89
I95.89 is the correct code for a patient diagnosed with chronic hypotension. I95.89: Index>hypotension>chronic.
Chronic: Long duration; continuing over a long period of time.
What is the systolic/diastolic measurement for a patient diagnosed with normal blood pressure?
- <90/60
- 90-120/60-80
- 120-139/80-89
- 140-159/90-99
A patient with normal blood pressure has the systolic/diastolic measurement of 90–120/60–80.
