Recur & perst hematur w diffus endocaplry prolif glomrlneph

This code signifies a kidney disorder characterized by ongoing or recurring blood in the urine, specifically linked to inflammation and proliferation of cells within the glomeruli. This particular type of glomerulonephritis involves widespread changes affecting the capillaries inside the glomerulus.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates persistent or recurrent hematuria in a patient diagnosed with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis. This often follows an acute infection, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, where the inflammation is widespread within the glomeruli.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "diffuse endocapillary proliferative" to differentiate from other forms of glomerulonephritis.
• Look for explicit mention of "recurrent" or "persistent" hematuria; transient hematuria without this specific pathology would not use this code.
• Consider sequencing this code after an underlying infectious cause if still active and relevant to the current encounter.
