disease or hematuria can be present with another
condition in the genitourinary tract.
Hematuria may be further described as
Gross hematuria
Microscopic hematuria
Recurrent, persistent or idiopathic
Renal failure and renal insufficiency represent a range of
disease processes that occur when the kidneys have
problems eliminating metabolic products from the blood
These conditions may be caused by various underlying
conditions such as hypertension and diabetes
Acute and chronic forms of kidney disease are classified
with different codes in ICD-10-CM

Coding Diseases of the Genitourinary
System
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the proper term for other
conditions such as chronic renal failure or chronic renal
insufficiency
CKD has five stages of disease based on the glomerular
filtration rate (GFR)
Patients are considered as having end-stage renal disease when
the patient requires dialysis or a kidney transplant
Acute kidney failure or acute renal failure usually occurs
suddenly as the result of physical trauma, infection,
inflammation or toxicity
Symptoms include oliguria or anuria with hyperkalemia and
pulmonary edema
The types of acute kidney failure may be described according to
the underlying cause, such as:
Prerenal
Intrarenal
Postrenal

Coding Diseases of the Genitourinary
System
Cystitis is a bacterial infection of the urinary bladder.
In females, most cases are due to vaginal infection that
extends through the urethra to the bladder
In males, cystitis is due to urethral or prostatic infections
or catheterizations
ICD-10-CM classifies cystitis according to the type,
severity and location.
The codes also identify whether or not hematuria is present
with cystitis
An additional code is used to identify the infectious agent
when applicable.

Coding Diseases of the Genitourinary
System
The diagnosis of an enlarged prostate may also be
stated as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)
The prostate gland, which encircles the urethra at
the base of the bladder, becomes enlarged and
presses on the urethra, obstructing the flow of
urine from the bladder
This is known as benign bladder neck obstruction
(BNO)
Symptoms of an enlarged prostate may be
referred to as lower urinary tract symptoms or
LUTS
ICD-10-CM classifies enlarged or nodular prostate
with and without lower urinary tract symptoms

Coding Diseases of the Genitourinary
System
Disorders of the breast include gynecomastia,
fibrocystic disease, inflammatory disease and
solitary cyst of the breast
Certain signs and symptoms of breast disease are
included in this chapter, such as mastodynia, induration
of breast and nipple discharge
Specific codes describe conditions of the breast related to staged breast
reconstruction following full or partial mastectomy
Inflammatory disease of female pelvic organs
A note at the beginning of several category codes state
“use additional code to identify infectious agent”
