Abnormal findings on examination of urine, without diagnosis (R80-R82)

ICD-10 codes R80-R82 cover abnormal urine test findings when no specific diagnosis has been made. These codes identify unusual urine constituents like proteins, glucose, and other substances detected during lab examination but without linked disease confirmation.

This range includes codes addressing proteinuria such as R80 for protein in urine, with subcategories for isolated proteinuria (R80.0), persistent forms including diabetic-related proteinuria (R80.1), and specific types like Bence Jones proteinuria related to light-chain proteins (R80.3). Glycosuria or sugar in urine is coded under R81. The R82 series covers other unusual urine findings like fat presence (chyluria), myoglobinuria (muscle protein in urine), bilirubin, hemoglobin, ketones (acetonuria), and abnormal concentrations of drugs or non-drug substances. It also contains detailed codes for microbiology results such as bacteriuria (R82.71) and pyuria (pus in urine, R82.81), and various cytological abnormalities suggestive of infections or cancerous changes. This chapter facilitates documentation of abnormal urine test results when the underlying cause has not yet been determined or is being further evaluated.

Instructional Notations

Type 1 Excludes

A 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.
