Calculus of kidney. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM N20.0 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N20.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 N20.0 may differ.
A staghorn calculus, a type of kidney stone with branches, happens in some cases because of repeated infections. The branches can block urine from leaving the kidney, causing kidney failure. What is a staghorn calculus? A staghorn calculus is a type of kidney stone. (Calculus in this case means a stone. The plural is calculi or stones.)

A staghorn calculus is a type of kidney stone. (Calculus in this case means a stone. The plural is calculi or stones.) A staghorn calculus is the name given to a branching kidney stone, and may form if you have repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs).
ICD-10 code N20. 0 for Calculus of kidney is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
CPT 50081A commonly encountered scenario for urologists is the performance of percutaneous nephrolithotomy for a stone > 2 cm (CPT 50081) in a patient with a nephrostomy tube already in place.
Staghorn stones are large and branching stones that fill part or all of the pelvicalyceal system. They are usually unilateral and less common in men. They are linked to urease-producing bacterial infections and, hence, known as struvite infection stones.
Staghorn calculi are most frequently composed of mixtures of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) and calcium carbonate apatite; they are strongly associated with UTIs caused by organisms that produce the enzyme urease, which promotes the generation of ammonia and hydroxide from urea.

ICD-10 code Z87. 442 for Personal history of urinary calculi is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
However, the creation of these codes also has created some confusion for proper coding of percutaneous endourologic procedures with PCNL (CPT codes 50080 Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy or pyelostolithotomy, with or without dilation, endoscopy, lithotripsy, stenting, or basket extraction < 2 cm and 50081 > 2 cm).
PCNL is a technique used to remove certain stones in the kidney or upper ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder) that are too large for other forms of stone treatment such as shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.
In contrast, insertion of an indwelling or non-temporary stent (CPT® code 52332) involves the placement of a specialized self-retaining stent (e.g. J stent) into the ureter to relieve obstruction or treat ureteral injury. This requires a guidewire to position the stent within the kidney.
Staghorn calculi are complex renal stones that occupy the majority of the renal collecting system. These stones are associated with high morbidity and can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, urosepsis, renal deterioration, and death if left untreated. Managing patients with staghorn calculi can be challenging.
Lower water intake, high levels of urine calcium, and excessive consumption of oxalate-rich foods like tomatoes, chocolates, eggplants, peanuts, beets, and spinach are responsible for calcium stones. Struvite Stones: These stones develop from urinary tract infections and are most commonly found in women.
Urinary tract calculi (i.e., “liths” or stones) may vary in size from less than 1 mm to several centimeters (“staghorn” calculi) and are typically seen as round, oval, or polygonal foci of high radiodensity within the renal parenchyma (Fig.
Types of kidney stones include:Calcium stones. Most kidney stones are calcium stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate. ... Struvite stones. Struvite stones form in response to a urinary tract infection. ... Uric acid stones. ... Cystine stones.
