The following tests and exams play a key role in finding a cause for blood in your urine:
When blood appears in the urine, it’s often due to irritation or inflammation caused by kidney stones, urinary tract infections, an enlarged prostate, or exercise-induced bleeding within the urinary tract (sometimes referred to as “runner’s bladder”).
Yes. One symptom of a UTI is blood in your pee. If you think you have a UTI, especially if you’re peeing blood, it’s really important to see a doctor or nurse and get treated right away. UTIs don’t go away on their own.
While the specific steps for prevention will vary depending on the cause of the blood in the urine, there are some general measures you can take to prevent a reoccurrence. If your hematuria is caused by a UTI, then drink plenty of liquids (8-10 glasses of water a day) to stay well hydrated.
ICD-10 | Hematuria, unspecified (R31. 9)
Hematuria is blood in the urine. It may be visible or microscopic. It can be caused by a bleeding disorder or certain medications, or by stones, infection, or tumor. It may be due to injury to the kidneys, urinary tract, prostate, or genitals. Having blood in your urine doesn't always mean you have a medical problem.
Z87. 440 would not be appropriate as the personal history code indicates a patient's past medical condition that they are no longer receiving any treatment for but has the potential for reoccurrence so needs to be monitored.
ICD-9 code 599.72 for Microscopic hematuria is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OTHER DISEASES OF URINARY SYSTEM (590-599).
There are two main types of hematuria: gross and microscopic. Gross hematuria – Gross hematuria means that you can see blood with the naked eye because the urine is pink, red, purplish-red, brownish-red, or tea-colored. If you see blood in your urine, you should call your healthcare provider.
Health care professionals diagnose hematuria with a urine test called urinalysis. If two of three urine samples detect too many red blood cells, a health care professional may order one or more additional tests. Health care professionals treat hematuria by treating its underlying cause.

The ICD-9 code 599.0 is an unspecified urinary tract infection (ICD-10 N39.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common cause of hematuria. Since the urinary tract is composed of the bladder, ureters, and kidneys, a UTI refers to an infection anywhere in that system. A bladder infection is called cystitis, and a kidney infection is called pyelonephritis.
While in many instances the cause is harmless, blood in urine (hematuria) can indicate a serious disorder. Blood that you can see is called gross hematuria. Urinary blood that's visible only under a microscope (microscopic hematuria) is found when your doctor tests your urine.
Depending on the condition causing your hematuria, treatment might involve taking antibiotics to clear a urinary tract infection, trying a prescription medication to shrink an enlarged prostate or having shock wave therapy to break up bladder or kidney stones. In some cases, no treatment is necessary.
Antibiotics typically will cure infection-related hematuria. For other causes of hematuria, treatment may be more complex: Kidney stones — Smaller stones sometimes can be flushed from the urinary tract by drinking lots of fluids. Larger stones may require surgery or lithotripsy, a procedure that breaks up the stone.
Personal history of other diseases of urinary system 1 Z87.448 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z87.448 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z87.448 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z87.448 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z87.448 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Avoid coding unspecified UTI (N39.0) when specific site infection is mentioned. For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis. Urosepsis – This does not lead to any code in the alphabetic index.
Infection can happen in any part of the urinary tract – kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra. It is called as Cystitis, Urethritis and Pyelonephritis based on the site.
Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is a very common infectious disease occurs commonly in aged women. As age goes up there will be structural changes happening in kidney. Muscles in the bladder, urethra and ureter become weaken. Urinary retention gets increased in the bladder and this creates an environment for bacterial growth.
Urethritis. It is not necessary to mention the infectious agent when using ICD N39.0. If the infectious organism is mentioned, place the UTI code primary and organism secondary. Site specified infection should be coded to the particular site. For example, Infection to bladder to be coded as cystitis, infection to urethra to urethritis.
