The ICD-10 code for a urinary tract infection (UTI) depends on the specific type and location of the infection.
Common ICD-10 Codes for UTIs:
- N39.0 - Acute cystitis: This code is used for a simple bladder infection.
- N39.1 - Acute pyelonephritis: This code is used for a kidney infection.
- N39.9 - Urinary tract infection, unspecified: This code is used when the specific type of UTI is unknown.
It's important to note that a healthcare provider will determine the appropriate ICD-10 code based on a patient's symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests.
