Smelly urine is a medical condition that is often associated with infection, inflammation and other disorders that affect the functioning of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra).
R82. 90 - Unspecified abnormal findings in urine | ICD-10-CM.
Some foods and medications, such as asparagus or certain vitamins, can cause a noticeable urine odor, even in low concentrations. Sometimes, unusual urine odor indicates a medical condition or disease, such as: Cystitis (bladder inflammation) Dehydration.
If you detect a hint of ammonia in your urine, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. The odor suggests that bacteria may be swimming around in your urinary system, most likely in your urethra, kidneys or bladder. Urine showing signs of a UTI also may be cloudy or even a bit bloody.
Urine may smell like ammonia when it becomes concentrated with waste products. A variety of conditions can cause waste products to build up in urine, such as bladder stones, dehydration, and urinary tract infections. In most cases, urine that smells like ammonia can be treated with fluids or antibiotic medications.
The list of “ICD-9-CM Code Covered by Medicare” associated with the current national coverage determinations (NCD) for urine culture (bacterial) and serum iron studies include ICD-9-CM code V72. 84, pre-operative examination, unspecified.

Healthcare providers often use urinalysis to screen for or monitor certain common health conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes, and to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs).
It's usually caused either by a UTI or an imbalance of “good” and “bad” bacteria naturally found within the body. When caused by bacteria, the bacteria will affect the urine as it sits in or passes through the bladder. This can lead to strong, sulfur-smelling urine.
Fish Odor Syndrome Also called trimethylaminuria, this genetic condition can give your pee a fishy smell. It happens when your body can't break down trimethylamine. You end up getting rid of the compound through your pee, sweat, breath, and other fluids. It doesn't mean you're unhealthy.
In most cases, smelly urine is not a sign of disease, but it can sometimes indicate diabetes, liver disease, renal failure, urinary stones, and urinary tract infection.

Involuntary discharge of urine after expected age of completed development of urinary control. This can happen during the daytime (diurnal enuresis) while one is awake or during sleep (nocturnal enuresis). Enuresis can be in children or in adults (as persistent primary enuresis and secondary adult-onset enuresis).
Major types of incontinence include urinary urge incontinence and urinary stress incontinence. Urinary incontinence is loss of bladder control. Symptoms can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. It can happen to anyone, but it becomes more common with age.

Dysuria is painful or uncomfortable urination, typically a sharp, burning sensation. In some cases, people experience a painful ache over the perineum or the bladder. This is an extremely common symptom in women but is also known to occur in men.
The diagnostic ICD-10 code for dysuria is R30.0. This is a billable code which means that it is valid for submission for all HIPAA-covered transactions.
There are several conditions that can lead to dysuria. In women, urinary tract infections are one of the most common causes that lead to painful urination. For men, certain prostate conditions and urethritis are the most common cause of dysuria.
Dysuria is most commonly characterized by pain when urinating. But depending on the cause, there are several other symptoms that include:
The treatment for dysuria is directed towards the cause, rather than just eliminating the pain. Many healthcare physicians do not prescribe any treatment until they have identified the cause after a complete examination and results of a urinalysis.
ICD-10 (short for International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition) is a clinical documentation and cataloging system owned by the World Health organization which consists of thousands of codes, where each code represents critical information about the different diseases, findings, causes of injuries, symptoms, possible treatments, and epidemiology, playing a vital role in enabling advancements in clinical treatment and medication..
