Recurrent and perst hematuria w unsp morphologic changes

This code signifies the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria) that recurs over time and persists, where the underlying kidney tissue changes observed are not specified or are unknown. It indicates a chronic or ongoing issue with hematuria without a definitive pathological diagnosis of the glomerular changes.

Use this code when documentation confirms recurrent and persistent hematuria, but a specific morphological diagnosis of the renal changes (e.g., focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, IgA nephropathy) has not been established or is not documented. This code is appropriate when the provider notes "unspecified morphologic changes" or when biopsy results are inconclusive regarding the specific type of glomerular damage.

• Do not use this code if a more specific diagnosis of glomerular disease with hematuria is documented (e.g., N02.0-N02.8).
• Ensure documentation clearly states both "recurrent" and "persistent" aspects of the hematuria, along with the lack of specific morphological findings.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the hematuria is the main reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it's a significant co-morbidity.
