The ICD code R798 is used to code Azotemia Azotemia (azot, "nitrogen" + -emia, "blood condition") is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high levels of nitrogen-containing compounds (such as urea, creatinine, various body waste compounds, and other nitrogen-rich compounds) in the blood.

The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 1 terms under the parent term 'Azotemia' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index . Azotemia See Code: R79.89 meaning uremia N19
It involves an elevated serum concentration of nonprotein nitrogenous compounds, primarily urea nitrogen, but also creatinine, amino acids, uric acids, creatine, and ammonia. Azotemia is produced by diminished glomerular filtration of these compounds by the kidney. Azotemia may be further described as prerenal, postrenal, or renal azotemia states.
Prerenal azotemia, 788.9, postrenal azotemia, 788.9, and azotemia (renal), 790.6, refer to marked elevation of urea nitrogen (and creatine). However, the term azotemia may be used in reference to the presence of acute renal failure, 584.9, or chronic renal failure, 585. The codes for prerenal or postrenal azotemia, 788.9, and azotemia, 790.6, represent symptom and sign findings and are not assigned as principal diagnoses when the cause is known. When the physician documents azotemia, it may be necessary at times for the coder to ask the physician whether or not the diagnosis of azotemia refers to the presence of acute renal failure or chronic renal failure.
Postrenal azotemia is due to diminished glomerular filtration rate with normal renal tubules and is due to urinary tract obstruction , such as incomplete obstruction of the ureter, bladder outlet obstruction, or prostatic enlargement. The overall excretion (urine) function is impaired in postrenal azotemia.
