I can't find a code for this condition. Unless someone else can answer, I would code both the pain and hematuria.

LPHS is flank pain that is renal in nature, along with hematuria. since the pain is renal in nature, you should code 788.0 - renal colic, as opposed to an abdominal, other specified or unspecified code choice. 599.71 ot 599.72 for gross or microscopic hematuria respectively, depending on what the docuementation supports. If the quality is not mentioned, then you would defer to 599.70 ( hematuria unspecified) as a last resort.
