ICD-10 code for kidney gonorrhea

The ICD-10-CM code for kidney gonorrhea is A54.21 (Gonococcal infection of kidney and ureter).

Within A54.2 (gonococcal pelviperitonitis and other gonococcal genitourinary infection), A54.21 is specifically for gonococcal infection of kidney and ureter. Related codes cover gonococcal prostatitis (A54.22), gonococcal infection of other male genital organs (A54.23), gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease (A54.24) and other gonococcal genitourinary infections (A54.29).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37), DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908) and 1 more, in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) and MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
