N10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM N10 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N10 - other international versions of ICD-10 N10 may differ.

Acute pyelonephritis results from bacterial invasion of the renal parenchyma. Klebsiella spp. make up 1-2 % of uncomplicated cases and 2-17% of complicated cases. Complicated cases are those in which there is at least one factor that diminishes antimicrobial therapy.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is second to Escherichia coli the most common gram-negative pathogen associated with a wide spectrum of infections, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia, intra-abdominal infection, bloodstream infection (BSI), meningitis and pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) [1–4].

Chronic obstructive pyelonephritis N11. 1 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 N11. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A urinary tract infection is inflammation of the bladder and/or the kidneys almost always caused by bacteria that moves up the urethra and into the bladder. If the bacteria stay in the bladder, this is a bladder infection. If the bacteria go up to the kidneys, it is called a kidney infection or pyelonephritis.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that normally lives inside human intestines, where it doesn't cause disease. But if K. pneumoniae gets into other areas of the body, it can lead to a range of illnesses, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, meningitis, and urinary tract infections.
MICROBIOLOGY. In 80 percent of acute pyelonephritis cases, Escherichia coli is the responsible pathogen in women, although it is not as common in older persons. After E. coli, less common causative organisms include other Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, group B streptococci, and enterococci.
Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are two of the most common causes of urinary tract infection. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of acute pyelonephritis (APN) between E. coli and K. pneumoniae.
K pneumoniae UTI Complicated cases may be treated with oral quinolones or with intravenous aminoglycosides, imipenem, aztreonam, third-generation cephalosporins, or piperacillin/tazobactam. Duration of treatment is usually 14-21 days. Intravenous agents are used until the fever resolves.
Most effective were cefroperazone. sulbactam (95.8%), piperacillin. tazobactam (95.7%) and imipenem (97.7%). Self-medication, lack of awareness, and the misuse of antibiotics by doctors has exacerbated the menace of microbial resistance.
In the guidelines it says for B95, B96, or B97 they are to be used as additional codes to identify the organism. They can't be used as primary diagnosis codes.
Klebsiella variicola and K. quasipneumoniae are new species distinguishable from K. pneumoniae but they are often misidentified as K. pneumoniae in clinical settings.
Klebsiella oxytoca is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is closely related to K. pneumoniae, from which it is distinguished by being indole-positive; it also has slightly different growth characteristics in that it is able to grow on melezitose, but not 3-hydroxybutyrate.
Klebsiella [kleb−see−ell−uh] is a type of Gram-negative bacteria that can cause different types of healthcare-associated infections, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections, and meningitis.
B96.1 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Klebsiella pneumoniae [K. pneumoniae] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Coding / both MRSA colonization and MRSA infection. Z22.322, carrier or suspected carrier of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.
1. Post-procedural infection code should be coded first
Sub: R65.2. Generally refers to sepsis with Associated acute or multiple organ dysfunction. Septic shock. Generally refers to circulatory failure associated with severe sepsis and therefore represents a type of acute organ dysfunction - provider must specify septic shock in order to code it as such.
The coding of severe sepsis requires a minimum of two codes: 1. Sequence first code for the underlying infection followed by a code from subcategory R65.2, severe sepsis. 2. If the causal organism is not documented assign code A41.9, sepsis, unspecified organism for the infection. 3.
Coding / sepsis due to post-procedural infection. As with all post-procedural complications, code assignment for sepsis due to a post-procedural infection is based on providers documentation of the relationship between the infection and the procedure. Coding / post-procedural infection. 1.
R78.81. Refers to presence of bacteria in the bloodstream after trauma or mild infection - condition is usually transient. Urosepsis. A non-specific term and should not be considered synonymous with sepsis - has no default code in the alphabetic index - physician should be queried for clarification.
Septicemia. A systemic disease associated with pathological microorganisms or toxins in the bloodstream. SIRS. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome. A systemic response to infection or trauma with such symptoms as fever and tachycardia. Coding for HIV / AIDS is not allowed unless.

Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
DRG Group #867-869 - Other infectious and parasitic diseases diagnoses without CC or MCC.
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.
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.
