* a classic cause of GN (especially Nephritic syndrome, rapidly progressive is as an immune after-effect of Strep infection, so-called Post-strep GN). To code this we will add a new code B98, to be called [[Other specified infectious agents as the cause of diseases classified by other ICD10 code]] -- this new code, with the appropriate Streptoccus code, is then combined with the appropriate Nephritic syndrome code to get Post-strep GN

~~----~~

*In ICD10 there are no codes specific for glomerulonephritis (GN) -- instead the various forms of that entity are included in the various codes for "Nephritic sydrome"

*Nephritic syndrome represents a class/category of renal diseases that are due to non-infectious inflammation of the glomerulus

**Though non-infectious, a classic cause of GN is immune-mediated and elicited by PRIOR infection by a variety of organisms, though Streptococci is the classic (so-called Post-strep GN)

**Though non-infectious, a classic cause of GN is immune-mediated and elicited by PRIOR infection by a variety of organisms, though Streptococci is the classic (so-called Post-strep GN) if using this code combine with [[Other specified infectious agents as the cause of diseases classified by other ICD10 code]]

**Although often ''primary'', i.e. the etiology is auto-immune, there are numerous other conditions that can cause GNs (e.g. post-infectious which is an immune-mediated problem and not due to the organism itself; in association with other immune disorders such as Lupus and vasculitis; immune consequences of drug use such as iv heroin, others). When the etiology is NOT primary, combine the cause with the appropriate Nephritic syndrome code.
