Urosepsis is a case of [[Septicemia/Bacteremia/Fungemia]] resulting from '''urinary tract infection'''. Urosepsis is '''not''' tracked in itself by the CCMDB as a diagnosis.  
*The term "urosepsis" is not well defined, as it is used to mean various things, particularly either: (i) urinary tract infection, and/or (ii) sepsis with source being the urinary tract.
*When the team notes "urosepsis" the data collector must:
**Verify the presence of one or another [[:Category:Urinary tract infection|Urinary tract infection]] and appropriately code that infection.
**Assess whether the patient has sepsis ([[Sepsis (SIRS due to infection, without acute organ failure)]] or [[Severe sepsis]]) or septic shock ([[Shock, septic]]), and appropriately code that entity.
**If the team believes that the sepsis/septic shock is a consequence of the urinary tract infection, then code them as [[combined ICD10 codes]].


Physicians sometimes use the diagnosis urosepsis imprecisely to denote infection ranging from urinary tract infection to generalized sepsis which may result from such infection.

If diagnosis is "urosepsis" then code as follows:
*If '''localized bladder infection''' only and not systemic (in blood) code:
# [[Cystitis (Bladder Infection)]] - subcode with applicable pathogen
 
*If '''bladder infection''' & gone '''into bloodstream''', (which is urosepsis) then code: 
# [[Septicemia/Bacteremia/Fungemia]]- subcode with applicable pathogen
# [[Cystitis (Bladder Infection)]] - subcode with applicable pathogen
 
*If '''kidney infection''' & gone '''into bloodstream''', code:
# [[Septicemia/Bacteremia/Fungemia]]- subcode with applicable pathogen
# [[Pyelonephritis (Kidney Infection/Abcess)]]

* Is this article based on "old rules" ie. [[Septicemia/Bacteremia/Fungemia]] is a legacy code, and article needs updating to include that sepsis may be combined with causative infections? Thanks! [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 08:03, 2022 August 24 (CDT)
** As per [https://ccmdb.kuality.ca/index.php?title=Urosepsis&action=history] this whole page is still based on the old coding schema. Is it actually needed in the new schema? I propose we turn this page into a link to [[Template:ICD10 Guideline Sepsis]] instead. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:32, 2022 August 24 (CDT) }}
