Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
ICD-10 N02.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
N02.3 refers to a condition characterized by recurrent and persistent hematuria, which is the presence of blood in the urine, alongside diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN). This type of GN is marked by an increase in mesangial cells and matrix within the glomeruli, leading to impaired kidney function. Patients typically present with symptoms such as hematuria, proteinuria, and possible hypertension. The condition may arise from various underlying causes, including autoimmune disorders, infections, or systemic diseases. Diagnosis often involves renal biopsy, which reveals mesangial proliferation and may show immune complex deposition. Management typically includes controlling blood pressure, addressing underlying causes, and possibly using immunosuppressive therapy. Regular monitoring of renal function and urinalysis is essential to assess disease progression and response to treatment.
Detailed clinical notes on hematuria, proteinuria, and renal function tests.
Patients presenting with unexplained hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, or renal insufficiency.
Ensure that all relevant lab results and imaging studies are included in the documentation.
Comprehensive reports on renal biopsy findings, including histological analysis.
Biopsy evaluations for patients with suspected glomerulonephritis.
Pathology reports must clearly indicate the type of glomerular disease and any associated findings.
Used when a renal biopsy is performed to confirm glomerulonephritis.
Document indication for biopsy, findings, and any complications.
Nephrologists must ensure that the biopsy results correlate with clinical findings.
Mesangial proliferation indicates an inflammatory response within the glomeruli, which can lead to impaired kidney function and is a hallmark of certain types of glomerulonephritis.
