Acute Cystitis Without Hematuria ICD-10-CM Codes

Acute cystitis without hematuria is most commonly caused by bacterial infections, particularly Escherichia coli (E. coli), which enters the urinary tract. Other contributing factors include bladder irritants, certain medications, poor hygiene, or urinary retention.

Diagnosis typically involves a review of symptoms, physical examination, and a urine culture to identify the infectious agent. Additional urinalysis helps detect signs of infection, such as leukocytes and nitrites, even in the absence of visible blood in the urine.

Yes, if left untreated or if recurrent infections occur, acute cystitis can progress to chronic cystitis. This chronic form may require further investigation into underlying urinary tract abnormalities or resistance to standard antibiotic therapy.
