Other polyuria

This code signifies excessive urination that is not otherwise specified as nocturnal polyuria or psychogenic polyuria. It indicates a symptom of increased urine output beyond normal physiological limits, often suggesting an underlying medical condition.

Apply this code when documentation indicates polyuria without a more specific diagnosis, such as diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus, that would explain the increased urine volume. It is appropriate when the provider has ruled out or not yet identified the specific cause of the excessive urination.

• Do not use this code if a more specific cause for polyuria (e.g., diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus) is documented; code the underlying condition instead.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is the investigation or treatment of the polyuria's cause.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "polyuria" and lacks further specificity regarding its type or etiology to support this code.
