Isolated proteinuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
ICD-10 N06.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Isolated proteinuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis is characterized by the presence of protein in the urine without significant hematuria or other renal dysfunction. This condition is often associated with diffuse mesangial proliferation, which indicates an increase in the number of mesangial cells in the glomeruli, leading to potential alterations in glomerular filtration. The etiology may include hereditary nephropathies, autoimmune diseases, or infections. Patients may present with mild to moderate proteinuria, and the condition can be a marker for underlying systemic diseases. Diagnosis typically involves urinalysis, serum creatinine levels, and possibly renal biopsy to assess the extent of mesangial proliferation. Genetic testing may be indicated in cases with a suspected hereditary component, particularly in younger patients or those with a family history of kidney disease. Management focuses on addressing the underlying cause and monitoring renal function over time.
Detailed urinalysis results, renal function tests, and biopsy findings.
Patients presenting with unexplained proteinuria, family history of kidney disease.
Ensure clear documentation of the absence of hematuria and the specific type of glomerulonephritis.
Family history, genetic testing results, and clinical findings related to hereditary nephropathies.
Patients with a suspected genetic predisposition to kidney disease.
Document any genetic testing performed and its implications for diagnosis.
Used to confirm the presence of proteinuria in patients suspected of glomerular disorders.
Document the results of the urinalysis, including protein levels.
Nephrologists should ensure that urinalysis results are clearly linked to the diagnosis.
Isolated proteinuria can indicate underlying kidney issues, including glomerular disorders, and may require further evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate management.
