Isolated proteinuria with minor glomerular abnormality
ICD-10 N06.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria with minor glomerular abnormality.
Isolated proteinuria with minor glomerular abnormality refers to the presence of protein in the urine without significant clinical symptoms or major structural abnormalities in the kidneys. This condition is often identified during routine urinalysis and may indicate underlying glomerular dysfunction. The proteinuria is typically low to moderate in quantity and is not associated with other renal impairments such as hypertension or significant renal insufficiency. Minor glomerular abnormalities may include changes in glomerular morphology that are not severe enough to warrant a diagnosis of a specific glomerular disease. Isolated proteinuria can be a transient condition, often influenced by factors such as exercise, dehydration, or fever. In some cases, hereditary nephropathies may predispose individuals to isolated proteinuria, necessitating further genetic evaluation. The management of this condition often involves monitoring renal function and protein levels, as well as addressing any underlying causes.
Detailed lab results, family history, and clinical findings related to kidney function.
Patients presenting with incidental proteinuria during routine check-ups or those with a family history of kidney disease.
Ensure that all relevant tests are documented, including urinalysis and any genetic testing performed.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree, and clinical correlation with nephropathy.
Patients with a known family history of hereditary nephropathies presenting with isolated proteinuria.
Document the rationale for genetic testing and any findings that may influence management.
Used to confirm the presence of proteinuria in patients suspected of having renal issues.
Document the reason for the test and any relevant clinical findings.
Nephrologists should ensure that all relevant lab results are included in the patient's record.
Isolated proteinuria can indicate early glomerular dysfunction and may require monitoring or further investigation, especially in patients with a family history of kidney disease.
