| *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)
| |
| | |
| *Question is never dumb.
| |
| *First thing, please '''get rid of you old code book,''' you should have an updated one. These code were migrated to the infection section June 26.06. I am not sure why you are still using old code book?
| |
| *Urosepsis is a term used imprecisely to denote infection ranging from urinary tract infection to generalized sepsis which may result from such infection.
| |
| * for our purpose the definition of urosepsis is: bacteremia/Septecemia resulting from urinary tract infection.
| |
| | |
| *If localized bladder infection (cystitis) only code 51 - subcode with applicable pathogen
| |
| | |
| *if the DX is urosepsis - which mean it is know or suspected that the infection has gone into bloodstream, then '''also code with''' [[septicimia/bacteremia]] (46) with subcode that is applicable. [[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 14:11, 8 January 2009 (CST)
| |
| | |
| *Yes it seems that Doc's use the DX of urosepsis when referring the localized bladder infection.
