Study Notes
Urinary System Overview
- Urine is formed in the kidneys through renal tubules, eventually emptying into the renal pelvis, and then traveling to the bladder via the ureters.
- The urethra is the structure through which urine is expelled from the body after storage in the bladder.
Male Reproductive System
- The testes, found in the scrotum, are key reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm.
- The prostate gland is both muscular and glandular, playing an essential role in male reproductive health.
Organs in the Urinary System
- Major components of the urinary system include kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- The spleen is not part of the urinary system; it belongs to the lymphatic system.
Key Terminology for Genitourinary System
- Important roots, prefixes, and suffixes include:
- -cele: herniation or prolapse
- cyst/o: bladder or cyst
- dys-: abnormal or difficult
- -ectomy: surgical removal
- nephr/o: kidney
- -orrhaphy: surgical repair
- -otomy: incision or cutting into
- osche/o: scrotum
Clinical Coding Examples
- For bilateral nephrolithiasis, the correct ICD-10-CM code is N20.0, which specifically identifies kidney stones.
- The ICD-10-CM code for gross hematuria, especially from a prostatic source, is R31.0.
- A fractured right kidney is coded as S37.041A, indicating it is a minor laceration with specific notes on right-sided injury and encounter status.
- Urinary retention and enlarged prostate conditions can be coded as N40.1, R33.8, highlighting both the enlarged prostate and retention aspect.
Summary of Clinical Conditions
- Nephrolithiasis refers to kidney stones, usually calcium-based but not exclusively.
- Gross hematuria indicates blood in urine and requires careful coding based on context (e.g., previous procedures like TURP).
- Accurate coding is essential for diagnosis, particularly in male patients with urinary issues associated with prostate health.
