Hemorrhage into bladder wall

This code signifies bleeding that has occurred within the muscular or connective tissue layers of the bladder. It indicates an extravasation of blood into the bladder wall itself, as opposed to bleeding into the bladder lumen. This condition can be a symptom of underlying trauma, infection, or other pathological processes affecting the bladder.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states hemorrhage into the bladder wall, intramural hematoma of the bladder, or a similar description indicating bleeding within the bladder tissue. This code is appropriate when the bleeding is confined to the bladder wall and not primarily manifesting as hematuria (blood in urine) from the bladder lumen.

• Differentiate from hematuria (599.7x) which indicates blood in the urine, not necessarily within the bladder wall.
• Look for documentation specifying the location of the hemorrhage (e.g., "intramural hematoma of bladder").
• Code any underlying cause of the hemorrhage if known and documented, such as trauma or bladder pathology.
