Additional Info

  • 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) 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.
  • Regarding the various codes for nephritic syndrome (Nephritic syndrome, acute, Nephritic syndrome, rapidly progressive, Nephritic syndrome, chronic, Nephritic syndrome, NOS)
    • They include
      • glomerulonephritis
      • nephritis
      • other inflammatory glomerular diseases
    • Don't get confused, another way to classify glomerular diseases is by what they look like under the microscope (e.g. minimal change, membranous, crecentic, etc) -- but in ICD10 these are all included within all the codes for nephritic syndrome.
  • The difference between the various Nephritic syndrome codes is clinical onset and persistence:
  • Important to distinguish the various Nephritic syndrome codes from Nephrotic syndrome
