Hematuria ICD-10-CM Codes
Read this short guide and learn about hematuria ICD codes you can use.
What hematuria ICD codes can I use?
It's important to note that hematuria ICD codes typically indicate a specific complication associated with hematuria, or hematuria itself can be a complication of another underlying issue. To accurately represent your patient's condition, consider selecting the code that best corresponds to their situation. Here are six examples:
- N02.0 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with minor glomerular abnormality
This ICD-10 code should be used for patients who have been confirmed to have recurrent and persistent hematuria accompanied by the complication of minor glomerular abnormality.
- N02.1 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with focal and segmental glomerular lesions
Similar to the previous code (Item 1), this code is used for recurrent and persistent hematuria, but in this case, it is associated with complications of focal and segmental glomerular lesions.
- N02.2 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
Again, this code corresponds to recurrent and persistent hematuria (Item 1), but in this instance, it is linked to the complication of diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis.
- N02.3 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
Just like the previous codes, this one pertains to recurrent and persistent hematuria (Item 1) and is associated with the complication of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
- N02.4 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
This code also applies to recurrent and persistent hematuria (Item 1) and is linked to the complication of diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis.
- N02.5 - Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Similarly, this code addresses recurrent and persistent hematuria (Item 1) and is tied to the complication of diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
Are these hematuria ICD codes billable?
Yes. All of the hematuria-related ICD-10 codes we listed above are valid and billable.
Clinical information about hematuria:
- Hematuria is the medical term for the presence of blood in the urine.
- Healthcare professionals also employ other terminology to distinguish between various types of hematuria.
- Microscopic indicates the presence of blood in the urine that is not visible to the naked eye and requires a microscope for detection.
- Another term, "dipstick," refers to a urine test strip undergoing oxidation, resulting in a color change.
- It is important to note that a color change on the dipstick does not necessarily indicate the presence of blood in the urine. This type of hematuria has a higher likelihood of producing false positives.
Synonyms include:
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to minor glomerular abnormality
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to focal and segmental glomerular lesions
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
- Persistent hematuria co-occurrent and due to diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Commonly asked questions
No. There are more. These six are examples to show you how varied the hematuria-related ICD-10 codes are.
There are many different reasons why someone would have hematuria. Here are some examples: UTI, having an enlarged prostate, menstruation, pyelonephritis, endometriosis, and urinary stone disease to name a few.
Healthcare professionals will resort to urinalyses, urine cultures, and urine cytology. They may also resort to CT scans and MRIs.
