N14.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Nephropathy induced by oth drug/meds/biol subst The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM N14.1 became effective on October 1, 2020.
On the other hand, acute tubular necrosis (ATN) has been observed in adults with minimal change disease and AKI. In some cases, the association of nephrotic syndrome and ATN may suggest a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis that leads to the early institution of immunosuppressive therapy.
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a kidney disorder involving damage to the tubule cells of the kidneys, which can lead to acute kidney failure. The tubules are tiny ducts in the kidneys that help filter the blood when it passes through the kidneys.
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the renal category (that is, AKI in which the pathology lies within the kidney itself). The term ATN is actually a misnomer, as there is minimal cell necrosis and the damage is not limited to tubules. See the ATN image below.
The traditional paradigm classifies AKI into prerenal, intrinsic renal, and postrenal etiologies based on the portion of renal anatomy most affected. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN), an intrinsic renal etiology of AKI, occurs with prolonged ischemic or toxic injury to the kidney resulting in tubular cell injury.
As a clinical condition characterized by an acute onset of kidney injury, the principal differential diagnosis of AIN is its differentiation from ATN.
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys. Because necrosis is often not present, the term acute tubular injury (ATI) is preferred by pathologists over the older name acute tubular necrosis (ATN).
(See "Definition and staging criteria of acute kidney injury in adults".) The two major causes of AKI that occur in the hospital are prerenal disease and acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Together, they account for approximately 65 to 75 percent of cases of AKI.
Typesischemic ATN occurs when severe hypotension leads to decreased renal perfusion.toxic ATN occurs when a nephrotoxic drug decreases renal perfusion and/or causes tubular injury.
Acute tubular necrosis causes injury to the renal tubular cells, resulting in sloughing of cells into the lumen. One mechanism leading to AKI is the obstruction of tubules by these sloughed cells.

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.
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes. Code See Section B95-B97, to identify infectious agent.
N17.0 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
