ICD-10 Code B90.1 – Sequelae of genitourinary tuberculosis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B90.1 – Sequelae of genitourinary tuberculosis
What it is
B90.1 identifies lasting effects from a past infection of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or other genitourinary organs caused by tuberculosis. Use it when the active infection is no longer present, but residual damage remains.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common sequelae may include chronic urinary symptoms, obstruction, scarring, or reduced organ function after prior genitourinary tuberculosis.
When to use this code
Use B90.1 when the record clearly states sequelae or late effects from previous genitourinary tuberculosis. The provider should link current findings to the old TB infection, such as fibrosis, strictures, or persistent urinary tract damage. Do not use it for suspected active disease.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active genitourinary tuberculosis or for nonspecific urinary problems without a documented TB history. Check documentation if the record does not clearly identify a tuberculous cause.
Coding tip
Code the residual condition and confirm the note says it is a sequela of prior genitourinary tuberculosis.
