Other polyuria
ICD-10 R35.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other polyuria.
Polyuria is defined as the production of abnormally large volumes of urine, typically exceeding 3 liters per day in adults. The condition can arise from various underlying causes, including diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, and certain medications. However, 'Other polyuria' encompasses cases that do not fit neatly into these categories, such as those resulting from renal concentrating defects, excessive fluid intake, or specific endocrine disorders. Symptoms may include frequent urination, nocturia, and increased thirst (polydipsia). Laboratory findings may reveal dilute urine with low specific gravity, and blood tests may show normal glucose levels, ruling out diabetes mellitus. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough patient history, physical examination, and targeted laboratory tests to identify the underlying cause of the polyuria. Understanding the clinical context is crucial for appropriate coding and management.
Detailed patient history, including fluid intake, medications, and associated symptoms.
Patients presenting with excessive thirst and urination, requiring differential diagnosis.
Consideration of renal function tests and endocrine evaluations to rule out diabetes mellitus and other conditions.
Acute care documentation must include vital signs, urine output measurements, and initial lab results.
Patients presenting with dehydration or electrolyte imbalances due to acute polyuria.
Rapid assessment of potential causes, including acute kidney injury or medication effects.
Used to evaluate urine composition in patients presenting with polyuria.
Document the reason for urinalysis and any relevant findings.
Consider additional tests based on urinalysis results.
Document the patient's symptoms, fluid intake history, relevant lab findings, and any associated conditions to support the diagnosis of other polyuria.
