N39: Other disorders of urinary system
N39.8: Other specified disorders of urinary system
The condition classified under the ICD-10 code N39.8, titled "Other specified disorders of the urinary system", describes a range of urinary system disorders not classified under other categories. The urinary system, comprising the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, is responsible for removing waste and extra fluid from the body in the form of urine. Disorders classified under N39.8 could affect any part of this system and may present varied symptoms such as difficulty or discomfort during urination, frequent urges to urinate, blood in the urine, lower abdominal pain, or back pain. The causes of these disorders can be multifactorial, including infections, structural abnormalities, blockages, and diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure that can affect the kidneys' ability to filter wastes. Relevant diagnostic tests and tailored treatment would depend on the specific disorder and its severity.
