Hyperuricosuria
ICD-10 R82.993 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hyperuricosuria.
Hyperuricosuria is characterized by an elevated level of uric acid in the urine, which can be indicative of various underlying metabolic disorders. Clinically, it may present without specific symptoms, but it can be associated with conditions such as gout, kidney stones, and renal impairment. Patients may experience symptoms related to these conditions, such as joint pain, swelling, or renal colic. Laboratory findings typically reveal uric acid levels exceeding the normal range, which is generally considered to be above 800 mg/24 hours in men and 750 mg/24 hours in women. The condition can arise from excessive dietary intake of purines, increased cell turnover, or renal tubular defects that impair uric acid reabsorption. Accurate diagnosis often requires a comprehensive metabolic panel and a thorough patient history to identify potential causes, including dietary habits and family history of metabolic disorders.
Detailed patient history, including dietary habits and family history of metabolic disorders.
Patients presenting with joint pain or renal stones, requiring uric acid level assessment.
Consideration of comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes that may influence uric acid metabolism.
Acute care documentation must include uric acid levels and associated symptoms.
Patients presenting with acute gout attacks or renal colic.
Rapid assessment of uric acid levels in acute settings to guide treatment.
Used when evaluating metabolic disorders including hyperuricosuria.
Document all lab results and clinical findings.
Internal medicine may require additional metabolic panels.
Hyperuricosuria is a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the urine, which can indicate various metabolic disorders and may lead to complications such as gout or kidney stones.
