N06

Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion

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 11 more specific codes instead:

  • N06.0 Isolated proteinuria with minor glomerular abnormality
  • N06.1 Isolated proteinuria with focal and segmental glomerular lesions
  • N06.2 Isolated proteinuria with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis (also a header)
  • N06.3 Isolated proteinuria with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
  • N06.4 Isolated proteinuria with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
  • N06.5 Isolated proteinuria with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
  • N06.6 Isolated proteinuria with dense deposit disease
  • N06.7 Isolated proteinuria with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
  • N06.8 Isolated proteinuria with other morphologic lesion
  • N06.9 Isolated proteinuria with unspecified morphologic lesion
  • N06.A Isolated proteinuria with C3 glomerulonephritis

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.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
