Obstructive uropathy is a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked. This causes the urine to back up and injure one or both kidneys.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction N13. 2.
Obstructive uropathy is when your urine can't flow (either partially or completely) through your ureter, bladder, or urethra due to some type of obstruction. Instead of flowing from your kidneys to your bladder, urine flows backward, or refluxes, into your kidneys.
Obstructive uropathy is usually unilateral but if it is bilateral, it may lead to anuria. In the first acute phase of obstruction (1-2 first hours), the only difference between unilateral and bilateral obstruction is between the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the renal blood flow (RBF) [2].
(Urinary Tract Obstruction) Obstructive uropathy is structural or functional hindrance of normal urine flow, sometimes leading to renal dysfunction (obstructive nephropathy).
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.
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.
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder from a blockage or obstruction. Hydronephrosis can occur in one or both kidneys. The main function of the urinary tract is to remove wastes and fluid from the body.
Unilateral obstructive uropathy is most often caused by a kidney stone, although injury or other conditions could cause the disorder. When urine flow is blocked, it backs up into the kidney. This leads to kidney swelling, also called hydronephrosis.
Unilateral obstructive uropathy usually occurs when ureteral or kidney stones block the flow of urine. Urine backs up and causes kidney swelling (hydronephrosis).
The diagnosis of obstructive uropathy usually requires the presence of hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and/or bladder distention. Ultrasound is the imaging study of choice to determine if obstructive uropathy is present.
ICD Code N13 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of N13 that describes the diagnosis 'obstructive and reflux uropathy' in more detail. N13 Obstructive and reflux uropathy. NON-BILLABLE.

The ICD code N139 is used to code Reflux nephropathy. Reflux nephropathy is kidney damage (nephropathy) due to urine flowing backward (reflux) from the bladder toward the kidneys; the latter is called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Longstanding VUR can result in small and scarred kidneys during the first five years of life in affected children.
The end results of reflux nephropathy can include high blood pressure, excessive protein loss in the urine, and eventually kidney failure. ICD 9 Code: 593.73. Source: Wikipedia.
