Hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction N13. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N13. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.

In VUR, urine flows back — refluxes — into one or both of your ureters and, in some cases, to one or both kidneys. VUR that affects only one ureter and kidney is called unilateral reflux. VUR that affects both ureters and kidneys is called a bilateral reflux.
This is called vesicoureteral reflux. Over time, the kidneys may be damaged or scarred by this reflux. This is called reflux nephropathy. Reflux can occur in people whose ureters do not attach properly to the bladder or whose valves do not work well.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder to one or both ureters and sometimes to the kidneys. VUR is most common in infants and young children.
ICD-10 Code for Vesicoureteral-reflux with reflux nephropathy without hydroureter, bilateral- N13. 722- Codify by AAPC.
Urinary tract infections commonly occur in people with vesicoureteral reflux. A urinary tract infection (UTI) doesn't always cause noticeable signs and symptoms, though most people have some. These signs and symptoms can include: A strong, persistent urge to urinate.
DiagnosisKidney and bladder ultrasound. This imaging method uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the kidney and bladder. ... Specialized X-ray of urinary tract system. This test uses X-rays of the bladder when it's full and when it's emptying to detect abnormalities. ... Nuclear scan.
Primary causes are a direct result of problems in the urinary system. Secondary causes result from causes that may block normal flow. These may involve: Genetic problems passed down from a parent.
HOW IS REFLUX NEPHROPATHY DIAGNOSED? Reflux nephropathy requires tests to be performed before a firm diagnosis can be made. The simplest is an ultrasound (sound wave) scan of the bladder and kidneys. To prove a diagnosis of reflux, a test called a micturating cystogram might be performed.
Hydronephrosis occurs when a kidney has an excess of fluid due to a backup of urine, often caused by an obstruction in the upper part of the urinary tract.
Can Kidney Disease Cause Acid Reflux? Although acid reflux may be more common among those with kidney disease, there's no proven link between kidney disease and an increased risk of acid reflux. "It has yet to be established that kidney disease itself causes GERD," says gastroenterologist Dr. Jason R.
9: Fever, unspecified.
Dizziness and GiddinessCode R42 is the diagnosis code used for Dizziness and Giddiness. It is a disorder characterized by a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).
Code N40. 1 is the diagnosis code used for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, also called benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP or BPE). It is a benign (noncancerous) increase in size of the prostate.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
calculus of kidney and ureter without hydronephrosis ( N20.-) Abnormal flow of urine from the urinary bladder back into the ureters. Retrograde flow of urine from the urinary bladder into the ureter. This is often due to incompetence of the vesicoureteral valve leading to ascending bacterial infection into the kidney.
This is often due to incompetence of the vesicoureteral valve leading to ascending bacterial infection into the kidney.

Overactive bladder - a condition in which the bladder squeezes urine out at the wrong time
ICD-10-CM presumes a cause-and-effect relationship and classifies chronic kidney disease with hypertension as hypertensive chronic kidney disease, code I12.9; however, the code also at category I12 directs the coder to also code the chronic renal failure N18.9
The disproportion was specified as cephalopelvic; thus the correct ICD-10-CM code is O65.4. Two codes are required for anesthesia: one for the planned vaginal delivery (01967) and an add-on code (01968) to describe anesthesia for cesarean delivery following planned vaginal delivery converted to cesarean. An instructional note guides the coder to use 01968 with 01967 (AMA 2016, 62).
Because the malignancy recurred, it is coded as a current malignancy, code C67.3, and no Z code is included
In this circumstance, both codes F45.8 and G47.63 can be coded together because psychogenic dysmenorrhea is also an inclusion term; patient could have both conditions (CMS 2017a).
This is addressed in the coding guidelines. Code N18.– has instructions to code first hypertensive chronic kidney disease, if applicable. The physician would have to specifically document that CKD is NOT due to hypertension to negate the cause-and-effect relationship. Hypertension and hypertensive manifestations are discussed more extensively in Chapter 15, Diseases of the Circulatory System.
Other Disorders of the Kidney and Ureter (N25-N29) and Other Diseases of the Urinary System (N30-N39) Diseases of Male Genital Organs (N40-N51) Disorders of Breast (N60-N65) Inflammatory Diseases of Female Pelvic Organs (N70-N77) Noninflammatory Disorders of Female Genital Tract (N80-N98)
Codes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) identify the various stages of CKD that were developed by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) ( Table 20-1 ). In the past, CKD has been documented with imprecise terms such as chronic kidney failure (CRF) and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI).
A patient’s glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicates the level of kidney function and indicates the stage of the disease, which may progress slowly over many years. Early detection through laboratory tests and proper treatment can limit the effects of CKD, if the disease is discovered in the early stages.
If a patient is admitted for multiple reasons including ARF, the guidelines for principal diagnosis selection need to be applied. Often times, the acute renal failure is a result of another condition and should be coded as a secondary diagnosis.
K21.9 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
593.71 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux with reflux nephropathy, unilateral. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 593.71 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fists. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
