Team,

I have a scenario

One : Diabetes due to Hypertension - Actually, Etiology is Hypertension and Manifestation is Diabetes

Thus, The correct code is : I10, E08.9 or E11.59, I152?
 
According to the ICD-10 manual, code first the underlying condition. In this case, it's HTN (I10).

I10, E08.9 is correct.

E11.59 is DM with other circulatory complications. This implies a circulatory condition is due to the DM.

E08.x is DM due to an underlying condition.

I hope this helps.
