- ICD-10-CM
“Hypertension” is not one code in ICD-10-CM: the tabular separates essential hypertension from hypertension recorded together with heart disease, with chronic kidney disease, or with both, and keeps secondary hypertension, hypertensive crisis and hypertension in pregnancy in categories of their own.
