[Answered]: An 80-year-old male was brought to the emergency…

An 80-year-old male was brought to the emergency department with complaints of lower abdominal pain and the inability to urinate over the past 24 hours. An indwelling urinary ­catheter was placed in the patient, and he was admitted. After study, it was determined that the patient was in subacute to acute renal failure. The acute renal failure was caused by a ­urinary obstruction. The urologist concluded the urinary obstruction was a result of the patient’s benign prostatic hypertrophy. An intravenous pyelogram of the kidneys, ureters and bladder with low osmolar contrast was performed fluoroscopically and confirmed the physician’s diagnoses. The patient was treated with medications, and the acute renal failure was resolved. The catheter remained in place for drainage. The patient would require a resection of the prostate but would return for prostate surgery the following week. The patient was discharged home. Five answers are expected: Principal Diagnosis code: Secondary Diagnosis codes: (x2) Principal Procedure code: Secondary Procedure code: (x1)
