* I have a dumb question in our old books code 359 kidney infections/abcesses (~~ei.~~pyelonephritis~~/urosepsis~~) ~~and code 360 was just for cystitis (bladder~~ infection~~) in our new book code 51 says only Cystitis (bladder infection) does not say Urosepsis(definition: Can be used interchangeably to describe either (A)~~urinary ~~tract infection(UTI)~~ or (B) the rare occurrence of bacterial seeding into the blood stream due to an UTI causing a generalised infection.) So my question is we now include urosepsis to code 51? Is this a correct understanding of the use of code 51? (SKiesman, Jan 8 2009 10:54am)
