Acute nephritic syndrome

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 12 more specific codes instead:

  • N00.0 Acute nephritic syndrome with minor glomerular abnormality
  • N00.1 Acute nephritic syndrome with focal and segmental glomerular lesions
  • N00.2 Acute nephritic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
  • N00.3 Acute nephritic syndrome with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
  • N00.4 Acute nephritic syndrome with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
  • N00.5 Acute nephritic syndrome with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
  • N00.6 Acute nephritic syndrome with dense deposit disease
  • N00.7 Acute nephritic syndrome with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
  • N00.8 Acute nephritic syndrome with other morphologic changes
  • N00.9 Acute nephritic syndrome with unspecified morphologic changes
  • N00.A Acute nephritic syndrome with C3 glomerulonephritis
  • N00.B Acute nephritic syndrome with immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
