Are retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy the same? - Kelley

Posted: Oct 21, 2009

The physician is dictating the diagnoses, and he lists diabetes, retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic ulcers, HLA B27, uveitis.

I am wondering if I should type retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy, would that be repetitive?

Type it as dictated, repetitive or not...nm - elaine

Retinopathy can be caused by things other than - diabetes. Type as dictated. NM

In the diagnosis section of the consultation report, the doctor dictates: "Uncontrolled hyperglycemia/HH and K." My first thought would be hemoglobin and hematocrit and potassium, but he doesn't give me enough information in the rest of the report to be certain of this. The only values he gives are a blood sugar of 730 and a hemoglobin of 14.7. Any thoughts on this? ...
