Unspecified nephritic syndrome with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
ICD-10 N05.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified nephritic syndrome with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Unspecified nephritic syndrome with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis is characterized by the presence of nephritic syndrome symptoms, including hematuria, proteinuria, and hypertension, alongside histological findings of diffuse mesangial proliferation in the glomeruli. This condition often presents with a combination of renal impairment and systemic symptoms, such as edema and fatigue. The diffuse mesangial proliferation indicates an increase in mesangial cell number, which can lead to glomerular dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves renal biopsy, which reveals the characteristic histological changes. Management may include corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the disease. Regular monitoring of renal function and proteinuria is essential to assess treatment efficacy and disease progression.
Detailed clinical notes on symptoms, lab results, and biopsy findings.
Patients presenting with hematuria, proteinuria, and renal impairment.
Ensure clarity in distinguishing between nephritic and nephrotic syndromes.
Comprehensive reports on renal biopsy findings, including histological details.
Biopsy evaluations for patients with suspected glomerulonephritis.
Accurate description of mesangial proliferation and other histological features.
Used when a renal biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis of nephritic syndrome.
Biopsy report detailing histological findings and clinical correlation.
Nephrologists must ensure that the biopsy is justified based on clinical indications.
Key symptoms include hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and edema. Patients may also experience fatigue and renal impairment.
Diagnosis is typically made through renal biopsy, which reveals increased mesangial cell proliferation and may be accompanied by clinical symptoms of nephritic syndrome.
