Signs and symptoms
IgA nephropathy, or Berger’s disease, is a kidney disease caused by a buildup of abnormal IgA antibody. Over time, it leads to kidney damage or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) — kidney failure. Symptoms include hematuria, or blood in your urine. Medication can slow the disease’s progress.
Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy, called IgAN for short, or Berger’s disease, is a condition that damages the glomeruli inside your kidneys and can cause kidney disease. What causes IgA Nephropathy? The causes of IgAN are not well understood. IgAN is not just a kidney disease.

Do not assign a code for hypertensive CKD, as the hypertension would be coded separately. In addition, it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22) as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition."
2: Dependence on renal dialysis.
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.”
