When hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are documented together, ICD-10-CM assumes a cause-and-effect relationship.

I12.9 = Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 1–4 CKD

N18.2 = CKD stage 2

I12.0 is only for CKD stage 5 or ESRD, which does not apply here.

Therefore, the correct code combination is I12.9, N18.2.

The code 99471 is used for initial inpatient neonatal critical care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a critically ill infant or young child. Given the scenario where a 4-year-old critically ill child is admitted to the PICU and requires intensive care management, this code is appropriate as it reflects the critical care provided beyond the emergency department services.
