Recur and perst hematur w focal and seg glomerular lesions

This code signifies the presence of blood in the urine that repeatedly occurs and does not resolve, specifically linked to microscopic kidney damage characterized by focal and segmental scarring of the glomeruli. This indicates a chronic kidney condition affecting specific parts of the filtering units.

Apply this code when documentation confirms persistent or recurring hematuria in conjunction with a kidney biopsy report identifying focal and segmental glomerular lesions. This is typically seen in various glomerulonephropathies where only some glomeruli and parts of those glomeruli are affected.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states both "recurrent" or "persistent" hematuria and "focal and segmental glomerular lesions."
• Do not use this code for isolated hematuria without documented specific glomerular pathology.
• Consider sequencing with a more specific underlying glomerular disease code (e.g., N04.- for nephrotic syndrome) if known and documented.
