N3000 - Acute bladder infection without blood in urine
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code indicates you have acute cystitis, which is a sudden inflammation or infection of your bladder. The 'acute' means it came on quickly rather than being a long-term condition. The 'without hematuria' part means there is no visible blood in your urine. Common symptoms include frequent urination, burning sensation when urinating, urgency to urinate, and pelvic discomfort. This is typically caused by bacterial infection and is more common in women than men. It's usually treated with antibiotics and responds well to treatment.
Additional Information
This is a common and treatable condition. Most patients recover completely with appropriate antibiotic treatment. Untreated cystitis can potentially lead to more serious kidney infections, so it's important to follow treatment recommendations.
