R81 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of glycosuria. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

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.

Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Patient Education
Urine and Urination
Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.
You may have problems with urination if you have:
- Kidney failure
- Urinary tract infections
- An enlarged prostate
- Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis
- A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder
Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider. Urinalysis and other urine tests can help to diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.
