R82: Other abnormal findings in urine
R82.9: Other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine
Unspecified abnormal findings in urine, as the name suggests, refers to any abnormal results encountered during urine tests, not specified under any particular category. These are typically revealed through routine or specific urinalysis, which is a type of test conducted to detect health issues, including kidney disease, urinary tract infection, or other systemic issues like diabetes. Unspecified abnormal findings in urine do not imply a specific disease or disorder. They simply indicate that something irregular has been detected in the urine, which isn't normal or expected. It can include abnormalities in color, clarity, or substances detected, such as unusual levels of glucose, protein, red or white blood cells, nitrites, or other substances. It's important to remember that while these findings are not conclusive of a particular disorder, it is often an initial sign for further investigation into the underlying causes.
