The ICD10 code for the diagnosis “Benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms” is “N40.1”. N40.1 is a VALID/BILLABLE ICD10 code, i.e it is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions. N40.1 is a billable /specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

In a small percentage of men, untreated BPH can cause urinary retention, meaning that the man is unable to empty the bladder. The risk of urinary retention increases with age and as symptoms worsen.

Another difference is the number of codes: ICD-10-CM has 68,000 codes, while ICD-10-PCS has 87,000 codes.
What is a default code? Refer to ICD-10-CM guideline I.A. 18. The default code represents that condition is the most commonly associated with the main term.

A code listed next to a main term in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index is called a default code, which: • Represents the condition most commonly associated with the main term; or • Indicates that it is the unspecified code for the condition.
Chronic urinary retention develops over time. People with chronic urinary retention can urinate but cannot completely empty the urine from their bladders. Many people with chronic urinary retention do not know they have the condition because they may not experience any symptoms.
The causes of urinary retention are related to either a blockage that partially or fully prevents urine from leaving your bladder or urethra, or your bladder not being able to maintain a strong enough force to expel all the urine.
As you research prostatic enlargement you may come across two similar terms Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy. Both can be shortened to BPH and the terms are of often used interchangeably by patients and clinicians alike.
The immediate treatment is bladder decompression using urethral or suprapubic catheterization. Several factors have been identified that are associated with or precipitate AUR. It is useful to classify AUR as BPH-related or not, than spontaneous or precipitated when the initial management is considered.
What Are the Warning Signs and Symptoms of BPH?weak urine flow;difficulty starting urination;dribbling of urine, especially after urinating;a sense of not fully emptying the bladder;leaking of urine;more frequent urination and a strong and sudden desire to urinate, especially at night; and.blood in the urine.
Stand at or sit on the toilet and contract the muscle that allows you to stop and start the flow of pee. Hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Do this 5 to 15 times, 3 to 5 times a day to help with bladder control and function. Meditate.
Left untreated, an enlarged prostate can lead to a sudden inability to urinate, cause urinary tract infections and bladder or kidney damage.
If renal failure is confirmed as being acute, codes from the N20 category are used.
The urethra is a narrow tube connecting the kidney to the bladder.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as BPH, is an enlarged prostate. The prostate goes through two main growth cycles during a man’s life. The first occurs early in puberty when the prostate doubles in size. The second phase of growth starts around age 25 and goes on for most of the rest of a man’s life. BPH most often occurs during this second growth phase.
The severity of symptoms in people who have prostate gland enlargement varies, but symptoms tend to gradually worsen over time. Common signs and symptoms of BPH include frequent or urgent need to urinate, increased frequency of urination at night, difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts, dribbling at the end of urination, and the inability to completely empty the bladder. Less common signs and symptoms include urinary tract infection, inability to urinate, and blood in the urine. The size of your prostate doesn’t necessarily determine the severity of your symptoms. Some men with only slightly enlarged prostates can have significant symptoms, while other men with very enlarged prostates can have only minor urinary symptoms. In some men, symptoms eventually stabilize and might even improve over time.
Mild cases may need no treatment at all. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures (surgery without anesthesia) are good choices. And sometimes a combination of treatments works best. The main types of treatments for BPH are active surveillance, prescription drugs, and invasive surgery. If your BPH only requires active surveillance, your BPH will be closely watched but not actively treated. Prescription drugs include alpha-blockers, 5-Alpha reductase inhibitors, combined therapy, and phytotherapy. Minimally invasive or less invasive surgeries require only tiny cuts or no cuts to the body. In severe cases of BPH, or when other options fail, more invasive surgery is recommended.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP or BPE), adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia and benign prostatic hypertrophy (technically incorrect usage), is a benign (noncancerous) increase in size of the prostate. BPH involves hyperplasia of prostatic stromal and epithelial cells, resulting in the formation of large, fairly discrete nodules in the transition zone of the prostate. When sufficiently large, the nodules impinge on the urethra and increase resistance to flow of urine from the bladder. This is commonly referred to as "obstruction," although the urethral lumen is no less patent, only compressed. Resistance to urine flow requires the bladder to work harder during voiding, possibly leading to progressive hypertrophy, instability, or weakness (atony) of the bladder muscle. BPH involves hyperplasia (an increase in the number of cells) rather than hypertrophy (a growth in the size of individual cells), but the two terms are often used interchangeably, even among urologists. Although prostate specific antigen levels may be elevated in these patients because of increased organ volume and inflammation due to urinary tract infections, BPH does not lead to cancer or increase the risk of cancer.

This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code N40.1 and a single ICD9 code, 600.01 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
