N13.5 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of crossing vessel and stricture of ureter without hydronephrosis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code N135 is used to code Retroperitoneal fibrosis

Retroperitoneal fibrosis or Ormond's disease is a disease featuring the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneum, the compartment of the body containing the kidneys, aorta, renal tract, and various other structures. It may present with lower back pain, kidney failure, hypertension, deep vein thrombosis, and other obstructive symptoms. It is named after John Kelso Ormond, who rediscovered the condition in 1948.
