The ICD-10 code for IgA nephropathy is Nephropathy with mesangial IgA deposits (Nephropathy, IgA). The specific code is Nephropathy, IgA (Nephropathy with mesangial IgA deposits) - M1A0. In ICD-9, the code for IgA nephropathy is 583.9, which falls under the category of chronic glomerulonephritis. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a kidney disorder characterized by the accumulation of the immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody in the kidneys. This condition leads to inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, which are the filtering units of the kidneys.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for IgA nephropathy. The ICD-10 code for IgA nephropathy is Nephropathy with deposition of immunoglobulin A (N01.9). This code falls under the broader category of "Other glomerular diseases" (N00-N08) in the ICD-10 coding system.
On the other hand, the previous version of the coding system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), also had a specific code for IgA nephropathy. The ICD-9 code for IgA nephropathy is 583.9. This code falls under the broader category of "Nephritis and nephropathy, not specified as acute or chronic" (583-583.9) in the ICD-9 coding system.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and healthcare providers have been using the ICD-10 coding system since then. The ICD-10 coding system provides more detailed and specific codes compared to the older ICD-9 system, allowing for better accuracy in documenting and tracking various medical conditions, including IgA nephropathy.
