Other calculus in bladder

This code signifies the presence of a calculus (stone) within the urinary bladder that is not specifically identified as a primary bladder calculus or a calculus of the ureter or kidney. These calculi are typically composed of various mineral salts and can cause symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria, and lower abdominal pain.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a bladder stone that is not otherwise specified as a primary bladder calculus (e.g., secondary to foreign body, infection, or metabolic disorder). This code is appropriate when the type or origin of the bladder calculus is not precisely defined in the medical record.

• Differentiate from 594.0 (Calculus in bladder, unspecified) when more specific information is available regarding the stone's characteristics, even if not fully detailed.
• Consider sequencing with codes for underlying conditions contributing to stone formation, such as urinary tract infections or metabolic disorders, if documented.
• Ensure documentation specifies the calculus is within the bladder and not in the ureter or kidney, which would require different codes.
