Does the word "with" show causation or must it state hypertensive nephropathy in order to use that code?
 
the only renal codes combined with hypertension are those conditions coded with a 585.x code for chronic kidney disease. Nephropathy does not code with a 585.x so it would not combine with the 401.9
