N3001 - Sudden bladder infection with blood in urine

International Classification of Diseases

Last updated: 10/3/2025

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

Acute cystitis with hematuria is a sudden inflammation or infection of the bladder that causes blood to appear in the urine. This condition typically develops quickly and causes symptoms like painful urination, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and visible blood in the urine (which may appear pink, red, or cola-colored). The blood in urine (hematuria) distinguishes this from regular bladder infections. This condition is usually caused by bacterial infection, though other factors like irritation or inflammation can contribute. While concerning due to the blood in urine, it's generally treatable with appropriate medical care.

Additional Information

Blood in urine requires medical evaluation to rule out other conditions. Most cases respond well to antibiotic treatment when bacterial infection is the cause. Patients should seek immediate care if fever develops or symptoms worsen.
