Working in a Nephrology group, many of our patients have some form of CKD secondary to HTN. My question is do I need to code the CKD along with the Hypertensive Kidney disease, Benign/Malig (5th digit indicating CKD stage) or can the 403-point whatever be coded alone to indicate CKD and HTN (to indicate cause-and-effect relationship)
