Treatment for nephrotic syndrome involves treating any medical condition that might be causing your nephrotic syndrome. Your doctor might also recommend medications and changes in your diet to help control your signs and symptoms or treat complications of nephrotic syndrome. Medications might include: Blood pressure medications.
Primary nephrotic syndrome
What are the complications of nephrotic syndrome? Serious complications of nephrotic syndrome include kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD). This requires short-term or long-term dialysis. Blood clots and infection are other complications. These happen due to the loss of protein in the urine (proteinuria).
The symptoms of lupus nephritis include:
ICD-10 code N04 for Nephrotic syndrome is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute nephritic syndrome with dense deposit disease N00. 6.
ICD-10-CM Code for Nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis N04. 2.
ICD-10 code R80. 9 for Proteinuria, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Endometritis following delivery O86. 12 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O86. 12 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a pattern of glomerular injury on kidney biopsy with characteristic light microscopic changes, including hypercellularity and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). MPGN is a histologic lesion and not a specific disease entity.
The nephritic syndrome is a clinical syndrome that presents as hematuria, elevated blood pressure, decreased urine output, and edema. The major underlying pathology is inflammation of the glomerulus that results in nephritic syndrome.
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is a kidney-specific, autoimmune glomerular disease that presents with increased protein in the urine associated with a pathognomonic pattern of injury in glomeruli (Figures 1–3). Both clinical and pathogenetic aspects of the disease have been recently reviewed elsewhere (1–8).
Nephritis (kidney inflammation) is most often caused by autoimmune diseases that affect major organs, although it can also result from infection. Nephritis can cause excessive amounts of protein to be excreted in urine, and fluid to build up in the body.
ICD-10-CM code N28. 9 is reported to capture the acute renal insufficiency.
Proteinuria, also called albuminuria, is elevated protein in the urine. It is not a disease in and of itself but a symptom of certain conditions affecting the kidneys.
ICD-10 code R60. 9 for Edema, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Kidney disease, also known as nephropathy or renal disease, is damage to or disease of a kidney. Nephritis is inflammatory kidney disease. Nephrosis is noninflammatory nephropathy. Kidney disease usually causes kidney failure (renal failure) to more or less degree, with the amount depending on the type of disease. In precise usage, disease denotes the structural and etiologic disease entity whereas failure denotes the dysfunction (lack of working well, that is, impaired renal function); but in common usage these meanings overlap; for example, the terms chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure are usually considered synonymous. Acute kidney disease has often been called acute renal failure, although nephrologists now often tend to call it acute kidney injury.
N03. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code N03 is a non-billable code.
