Additional Info
- Malignant hypertension is extremely high blood pressure that develops rapidly and causes some type of organ damage. "Normal" blood pressure is below 140/90. A person with malignant hypertension has a blood pressure that's typically above 180/120. Malignant hypertension should be treated as a medical emergency.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead
- Malignant Hypertension only coded if it is an emergency and organ damage is evident.
