We have seen a lot of recommendations of late where the coders are coding hydronephrosis, UTI and ureteral stone separately or not with the correct code to include all conditions. What is Hydronephrosis? Hydronpehrosis is swelling of the kidney that develops due to improper drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder.

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.
Hydronephrosis occurs when a kidney has an excess of fluid due to a backup of urine, often caused by an obstruction in the upper part of the urinary tract.
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.

2 for Hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
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 defined as dilatation and distension of the renal collecting system of one or both kidneys due to obstruction of urine outflow distal to the renal pelvis (i.e., ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra). Dilation of the ureter due to obstruction of urine outflow is called hydroureter.
Ureterolithiasis, also known as ureteric calculi, is the presence or formation of stones within the ureters, which are the tubes responsible for the passage of urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Most of these stones, approximately 80%, are found to be composed predominantly of calcium.
Kidney stone. Likely the most common reason to have unilateral hydronephrosis is a kidney stone that causes obstruction of the ureter. The stone gradually moves from the kidney into the bladder but if it should act like a dam while in the ureter, urine will back up and cause the kidney to swell.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hydroureter N13. 4.
In adults, the conditions that most often cause hydronephrosis include: Kidney stones: Stones that may become lodged in the kidneys or urinary tract. Cancer: Tumors in the bladder, prostate gland, uterus or other organs that are part of or near the urinary tract may cause blockages that disrupt the flow of urine.
Hydronephrosis is usually caused by a blockage in the urinary tract or something disrupting the normal workings of the urinary tract. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, the bladder, the ureters (the tubes that run from the kidney to the bladder) and the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body).
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.
It is caused by obstruction of urine flow, nephrolithiasis, or vesicoureteral reflux. Signs and symptoms include flank pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dysuria.
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N13.30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
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. Hydronephrosis is due to another disease or disorder and is not considered a primary disease, but a secondary condition.
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.
