T83.51Infection and inflammatory reaction due to urinary catheter

T83.51 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to urinary catheter. It belongs to category T83 (complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T83.5 (infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system), T83.51 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to urinary catheter. Related codes cover prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system (T83.59).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T83.51, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: complications of stoma of urinary tract (N99.5-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
