N30-N39: Other diseases of urinary system
The group of conditions referred to as "Other diseases of the urinary system" covers a specific spectrum of ailments that negatively impact the urinary system, which is made up of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. These conditions can originate from multiple causes such as infections, structural abnormalities, injuries, or genetic predispositions. They could include cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder, typically due to a bacterial infection; urethritis, inflammation of the urethra often caused by sexually transmitted infections; and nephritis, an inflammatory kidney disease. Despite their diverse causes, many of these diseases share some ubiquitous symptoms like pain during urination, frequency or urgency of urination, low back or abdominal pain, and occasionally, blood in the urine. These illnesses invariably affect the body's capacity to filter out wastes and extra fluid from the blood, which may progress over time causing severe health impacts.
