Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with focal and segmental glomerular lesions
ICD-10 N07.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with focal and segmental glomerular lesions.
N07.1 refers to a specific type of hereditary nephropathy characterized by focal and segmental glomerular lesions. This condition is often associated with genetic mutations that affect kidney function, leading to isolated proteinuria and potential progression to chronic kidney disease. Patients may present with varying degrees of proteinuria, which can be a key indicator of glomerular damage. The hereditary nature of this nephropathy suggests a familial pattern, often necessitating genetic testing to identify specific mutations. The diagnosis is typically confirmed through a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and renal biopsy, which reveals the characteristic glomerular lesions. Understanding the genetic basis of this condition is crucial for management and counseling of affected families, as it can inform prognosis and potential treatment options.
Detailed clinical notes on renal function tests, proteinuria levels, and biopsy findings.
Patients presenting with unexplained proteinuria or family history of kidney disease.
Ensure genetic testing results are included in the medical record for accurate coding.
Comprehensive family history and genetic test results.
Patients referred for genetic counseling due to hereditary kidney disease.
Document the specific genetic mutations identified and their implications for treatment.
Used when genetic testing is performed to confirm hereditary nephropathy.
Document the specific tests performed and the rationale for testing.
Nephrology and genetics should collaborate to ensure accurate coding.
Genetic testing is crucial for confirming the hereditary nature of the nephropathy, identifying specific mutations, and guiding treatment options. It also helps in family planning and risk assessment for relatives.
