Recurrent and perst hematur w diffuse mesangiocap glomrlneph

This code signifies the presence of persistent or recurring blood in the urine (hematuria) in a patient diagnosed with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. This specific type of glomerulonephritis involves inflammation and structural changes within the kidney's filtering units, characterized by proliferation of mesangial cells and thickening of capillary walls.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states recurrent or persistent hematuria in conjunction with a definitive diagnosis of diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. This typically follows renal biopsy findings confirming the specific histopathological pattern. Use this code for patients presenting with macroscopic or microscopic hematuria that is not transient and is linked to this particular kidney disease.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly links the hematuria to diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
• Differentiate carefully from C3 glomerulonephritis or C3 glomerulopathy, as these have separate Excludes1 codes.
• This code requires a confirmed diagnosis of the specific glomerulonephritis type, often supported by pathology reports.
