I am new to this area of healthcare. How to code "acute urinary retention due to urethral injury"? Is there a specific code?
 
Yes, you'd arrive at this the same as for any other ICD-10 situation - S37.30XA for an unspecified injury to the urethra, with R33.8 as the secondary code for the manifestation of the acute urinary retention. There are more specific codes for the injury (i.e. contusion, laceration, other) which you might be able to use if you have more information documented about the type of injury.
