In both ICD-9 and ICD-10, signs/symptoms and unspecified codes are acceptable and may even be necessary. In some cases, there may not be enough information to describe the patient's condition or no other code is available to use. Although you should report specific diagnosis codes when they are supported by the available documentation and clinical knowledge of the patient's health condition, in some cases, signs/symptoms or unspecified codes are the best choice to accurately reflect the ...

Under conditions of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism, such as occurs in diabetes mellitus, ketones accumulate in the blood (ketonemia) and are excreted in the urine (ketonuria). The accumulation of ketones is often the cause of acidosis and coma in diabetics. Ketonuria is also associated with: Starvation.

Glycosuria is typically caused by an underlying condition that affects your blood sugar level, such as diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common cause of glycosuria.
Glycosuria in Diabetes Diabetes causes glycosuria because there either isn't enough insulin, or your body can't use what's available. WIthout insulin, blood glucose levels become too high, and your kidneys can't filter and reabsorb it. Your body gets rid of the excess through your urine.
Abnormally increased glucosuria [more than 25 mg/dl in random fresh urine (4)], results from either an elevated plasma glucose, an impaired renal glucose absorptive capacity, or both. The plasma glucose concentration above which significant glucosuria occurs is called the renal threshold for glucose.
Treatment for glycosuriaReduce the sugar and processed foods in your diet.Eat a diet consisting of mostly whole foods with plenty of vegetables.Reduce carbohydrate consumption to less than 180 grams per day.Drink water and unsweetened beverages instead of soda or juice.Get daily physical activity.Lose weight.More items...•
