Personal history of other diseases of urinary system
There are three types of catheter products that are used for managing urinary incontinence: indwelling (sometimes called a Foley) catheters, suprapubic catheters, and intermittent catheters. The process of catheterization prevents a difficult-to-empty bladder from becoming overly full and backing up into the kidneys.
Complications with untreated chronic retention include urinary tract infections, bladder damage, incontinence and chronic kidney failure. Treatment is similar to acute retention, treating the underlying cause and commonly draining of urine by intermittent self-catheterization.
ICD-10 code R33. 9 for Retention of urine, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Both men and women can experience direct physical obstruction attributable to stones, urethral strictures, hematuria-related clot obstruction, and bladder cancer. Uncommonly, foreign bodies, either intraluminal or those causing extrinsic compression, can cause urinary retention.

At that time, the code description only described indwelling urinary catheter. In ICD-10-CM, “urethral” is qualified in code T83. 511A for indwelling catheter.
If the cause of the AUR is being treated and is expected to resolve (e.g. UTI), then remove the catheter in the next day or two and begin a voiding trial. Especially in women, prolonged catheterization is not necessary.
Urinary retention is a condition in which you cannot empty all the urine from your bladder. Urinary retention can be acute—a sudden inability to urinate, or chronic—a gradual inability to completely empty the bladder of urine.
A Foley catheter is a common type of indwelling catheter. It has soft, plastic or rubber tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain the urine.

Chronic indwelling catheters are used to manage urinary retention, especially in the presence of urethral obstruction, and to facilitate healing of incontinence-related skin breakdown. These indwelling foreign bodies become coated and sometimes obstructed by biofilm laden with bacteria and struvite crystals.

According to AccessData.FDA.gov, the FDA does not classify “Catheter, Percutaneous, Cardiac Ablation, For Treatment Of Atrial Flutter” as “implants.” The best practice recommendation is to assign UB-04 revenue code 272 (sterile supply) to these devices.
In the second instance, the ICD-10-CM complication code for the CAUTI (T83. 511A [infection and inflammatory reaction due to indwelling urethral catheter, initial encounter]) would be the principal diagnosis, followed by the ICD-10-CM code for the sepsis.
Urinary retention, also known as ischuria, is an inability to completely empty the bladder. It is a common complication of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), though it can also be caused by:

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R33.8 and a single ICD9 code, 788.29 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
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.
Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is a very common infectious disease occurs commonly in aged women. As age goes up there will be structural changes happening in kidney. Muscles in the bladder, urethra and ureter become weaken. Urinary retention gets increased in the bladder and this creates an environment for bacterial growth.
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.
