Other chromoabnormalities of urine
ICD-10 R82.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other chromoabnormalities of urine.
R82.91 is used to classify abnormal findings in urine that are not specifically categorized elsewhere in the ICD-10 coding system. These abnormalities may include unusual colors, turbidity, or the presence of substances such as crystals, casts, or other elements that indicate a deviation from normal urine composition. Such findings can be indicative of various underlying conditions, including metabolic disorders, renal dysfunction, or urinary tract infections. The clinical significance of these abnormalities often requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause, which may involve additional laboratory tests, imaging studies, or referrals to specialists. Accurate documentation of the clinical context, including symptoms and any relevant patient history, is essential for appropriate coding and subsequent treatment planning.
Detailed patient history, lab results, and any associated symptoms must be documented.
Patients presenting with unexplained hematuria, proteinuria, or abnormal urine color.
Consideration of comorbid conditions that may affect urine composition.
Acute care documentation must include immediate lab findings and patient symptoms.
Acute presentations of urinary tract infections or renal colic with abnormal urinalysis.
Rapid assessment and documentation of findings are crucial in emergency settings.
Used when performing a urinalysis that reveals chromoabnormalities.
Document the reason for urinalysis and any relevant patient history.
Internal medicine and urology may frequently order this procedure.
R82.91 includes various chromoabnormalities such as unusual urine color, turbidity, and the presence of abnormal substances that are not classified elsewhere.
