Bilateral hydronephrosis occurs when urine is unable to drain from the kidney into the bladder. Hydronephrosis is not itself a disease. It occurs as a result of a problem that prevents urine from draining out of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
ICD-10 code N13. 30 for Unspecified hydronephrosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Other and unspecified hydronephrosis Abnormal enlargement or swelling of a kidney due to dilation of the kidney calices and the kidney pelvis. It is often associated with obstruction of the ureter or chronic kidney diseases that prevents normal drainage of urine into the urinary bladder.
ICD-10 | Other hydronephrosis (N13. 39)
If only one of the kidneys is affected, the condition is called unilateral hydronephrosis. If both kidneys are affected, it is called bilateral hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis may result in decreased kidney function.
Technically, hydronephrosis specifically describes dilation and swelling of the kidney, while the term hydroureter is used to describe swelling of the ureter. Hydronephrosis may be unilateral involving just one kidney or bilateral involving both.
Causes of hydronephrosis include, but are not limited to, the following illnesses or risk factors: Kidney stone. Congenital blockage (a defect that is present at birth) Blood clot.
ICD-10 | Retention of urine, unspecified (R33. 9)
ICD-10-CM code N28. 9 is reported to capture the acute renal insufficiency. Based on your documentation, acute kidney injury/failure (N17. 9) cannot be assigned.
Pyelectasis and Pelviectasis Pyelectasis, or pelviectasis, is when urine gathers in the center of the kidney, called the pelvis. This makes the kidney larger than normal. This condition can affect one or both kidneys.
calculus of kidney and ureter without hydronephrosis ( N20.-) Abnormal enlargement of a kidney, which may be caused by blockage of the ureter (such as by a kidney stone) or chronic kidney disease that prevents urine from draining into the bladder.
Abnormal enlargement or swelling of a kidney due to dilation of the kidney calices and the kidney pelvis. It is often associated with obstruction of the ureter or chronic kidney diseases that prevents normal drainage of urine into the urinary bladder.
It is caused by obstruction of urine flow, nephrolithiasis, or vesicoureteral reflux. Signs and symptoms include flank pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dysuria.

Treatment for Hydronephrosis: Treatment is typically focused on treating the underlying condition by removing the urine buildup, relieving pressure or clearing the infection. If caused by infection, this would be treated with antibiotics.
Hydronpehrosis is swelling of the kidney that develops due to improper drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder. This occurs when there is blockage of the outflow or reverse flow (reflux) of the urine. This causes the kidney to swell/enlarge as the urine is unable to pass.
A nephrostomy tube may be used to drain the urine from the kidney or a catheter may be used to drain the urine from the bladder. The most important thing in treatment of hydronephrosis is to get it addressed as soon as it is known to prevent permanent damage to the kidneys.
Hydronephrosis is due to another disease or disorder and is not considered a primary disease, but a secondary condition. In the picture below, on the left is a normal kidney/ureter and on the right is hydronephrosis and swelling of the kidney.
