Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified
ICD-10 N31.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified.
Uninhibited neuropathic bladder refers to a condition characterized by the loss of voluntary control over bladder function due to neurological impairment. This condition often results from damage to the nervous system, which can occur due to various factors such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or diabetic neuropathy. Patients may experience symptoms such as urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequent urination. The bladder may contract involuntarily, leading to an inability to retain urine, which can significantly impact the quality of life. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including patient history, physical examination, and urodynamic studies to assess bladder function. Treatment options may include behavioral therapies, medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Understanding the underlying neurological cause is crucial for effective management and improving patient outcomes.
Detailed urodynamic study results, neurological assessments, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with urinary incontinence following neurological events.
Ensure clear documentation of the neurological diagnosis and its impact on bladder function.
Comprehensive neurological evaluations, including imaging and functional assessments.
Patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries experiencing bladder dysfunction.
Document the neurological condition's progression and its effects on bladder control.
Used to evaluate bladder function in patients with suspected neurogenic bladder.
Document the indications for the urodynamic study and results.
Urologists should ensure comprehensive reporting of findings to support the diagnosis.
The primary cause is damage to the nervous system, which can result from conditions such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or diabetic neuropathy.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of patient history, neurological examination, and urodynamic studies to assess bladder function.
Treatment may include behavioral therapies, medications to manage symptoms, and surgical interventions in severe cases.
