Sequelae of genitourinary tuberculosis

This code represents the lasting effects or complications that arise from a past genitourinary tuberculosis infection. These sequelae can affect various parts of the urinary and reproductive systems, such as strictures, calcifications, or chronic inflammation, even after the active infection has been successfully treated.

Use this code when a patient presents with a current condition directly attributable to a resolved genitourinary tuberculosis infection. Documentation should clearly state the history of genitourinary TB and link the current findings (e.g., renal scarring, ureteral stricture, epididymal calcification) as a consequence of that prior infection.

• Always sequence this code after the specific manifestation code describing the sequela (e.g., N28.89 for other specified disorders of kidney and ureter).
• Do not use this code for active genitourinary tuberculosis; use codes from A18.1- for active disease.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the "sequela of" or "due to prior" genitourinary tuberculosis to support code assignment.
