ICD-10-CM Code R81

Valid for Submission

R81 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of glycosuria. The code is valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code R81 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like glucose concentration, dipstick - finding, glucose concentration, dipstick - finding, glucose concentration, dipstick - finding, glucose concentration, dipstick - finding, glucose concentration, dipstick - finding, glycosuria, etc

According to ICD-10-CM guidelines this code should not to be used as a principal diagnosis code when a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

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 guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code R81:

• Urine glucose test = +
• Urine glucose test = ++

• Urine glucose test = ++++
• Urine glucose test = trace

Clinical Information

• GLYCOSURIA-. the appearance of an abnormally large amount of glucose in the urine such as more than 500 mg/day in adults. it can be due to hyperglycemia or genetic defects in renal reabsorption renal glycosuria.
• GLYCOSURIA RENAL-. an autosomal inherited disorder due to defective reabsorption of glucose by the proximal renal tubules. the urinary loss of glucose can reach beyond 50 g/day. it is attributed to the mutations in the sodium glucose transporter 2 encoded by the slc5a2 gene.
