Short Description: | Pyonephrosis |
Long Description: | Pyonephrosis |
Code Classification
N13.6 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of pyonephrosis. The code N13.6 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code N13.6 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acute pyonephrosis, acute pyonephrosis, acute pyonephrosis with renal medullary necrosis, acute pyonephrosis without renal medullary necrosis, chronic pyonephrosis , obstructive pyelonephritis, etc.
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code N13.6:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
Use Additional Code
Use Additional CodeThe “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Acute pyonephrosis
- Acute pyonephrosis
- Acute pyonephrosis with renal medullary necrosis
- Acute pyonephrosis without renal medullary necrosis
- Chronic pyonephrosis
- Obstructive pyelonephritis
- Pyonephrosis

Clinical Information
- PYONEPHROSIS-. distention of kidney with the presence of pus and suppurative destruction of the renal parenchyma. it is often associated with renal obstruction and can lead to total or nearly total loss of renal function.
Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping
The ICD-10 code N13.6 is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V39.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2021 through 09/30/2022.
MS-DRG | MS-DRG Title | MCD | Relative Weight |
---|---|---|---|
689 | KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS WITH MCC | 11 | 1.1113 |
690 | KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS WITHOUT MCC | 11 | 0.7922 |
The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.
Convert N13.6 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code N13.6 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Information for Patients
Urinary Tract Infections
The urinary system is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. It includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common type of infection in the body.
You may have a UTI if you notice
- Pain or burning when you urinate
- Fever, tiredness, or shakiness
- An urge to urinate often
- Pressure in your lower belly
- Urine that smells bad or looks cloudy or reddish
- Pain in your back or side below the ribs
People of any age or sex can get UTIs. But about four times as many women get UTIs as men. You're also at higher risk if you have diabetes, need a tube to drain your bladder, or have a spinal cord injury.
If you think you have a UTI it is important to see your doctor. Your doctor can tell if you have a UTI with a urine test. Treatment is with antibiotics.
