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.

ICD-10 | Other hydronephrosis (N13. 39)
Ureteral obstructions are fairly common blockages that can happen in one or both of your ureters. The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to bladder. Untreated blockages can damage your kidneys and put you at risk of infection. Urology 216.444.5600.
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.
A blockage (obstruction) where the ureter connects to the kidney or bladder. This prevents urine flow. A blockage where the ureter and kidney meet (ureteropelvic junction) may cause the kidney to swell and eventually stop working.

Bilateral hydroureteronephrosis involves the dilatation of the renal pelvis, calyces and ureter; it develops secondary to urinary tract obstruction and leads to a build-up of back pressure in the urinary tract, and it may lead to impairment of renal function and ultimately culminate in renal failure.
ICD-10-CM code N28. 9 is reported to capture the acute renal insufficiency. Based on your documentation, acute kidney injury/failure (N17. 9) cannot be assigned.
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.
Clinical Information. 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.
Treatment for Hydronephrosis: Treatment is typically focused on treating the underlying condition by removing the urine buildup, relieving pressure or clearing the infection. If caused by infection, this would be treated with antibiotics.
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.
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. In the picture below, on the left is a normal kidney/ureter and on the right is hydronephrosis and swelling of the kidney.
