I believe that the correct diagnosis code is N13.30.
Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification. These codes are used as part of the clinical coding process alongside intervention codes. N13.30 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified hydronephrosis.
