Z46.6: Fitting and adjustment of urinary device

You were given an aid in the area of your urinary organs.

The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.

Aids can be used when there is a disorder of the urinary organs. This may involve a tube, for example, for urine to flow through. Over time, a tube like this may need to be replaced.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
