Code Classification

  • Diseases of the genitourinary system
    (N00–N99)
    • Glomerular diseases
      (N00-N08)
      • Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion
        (N06)

N06.2 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Isolated proteinuria w diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis

Non-specific codes like N06.2 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for isolated proteinuria w diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis:

  • Use N06.20 for Isolated proteinuria with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N06.21 for Primary membranous nephropathy with isolated proteinuria - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N06.22 for Secondary membranous nephropathy with isolated proteinuria - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N06.29 for Other isolated proteinuria with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - BILLABLE CODE

New 2024 ICD-10-CM Code

N06.2 is new to ICD-10-CM code set for the FY 2024, effective October 1, 2023. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2023. This is a new and revised code for the FY 2024 (October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024).

  • N06.20 - Isolated protein with diffuse membranous glomrlneph, unsp
  • N06.21 - Primary membranous nephropathy with isolated proteinuria
  • N06.22 - Secondary membranous nephropathy with isolated proteinuria
  • N06.29 - Other isolated protein with diffuse membranous glomrlneph

Convert N06.2 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 583.1 - Membranous nephritis NOS
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Kidney Diseases

You have two kidneys, each about the size of your fist. They are near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney there are about a million tiny structures called nephrons. They filter your blood. They remove wastes and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters. It goes to your bladder, which stores the urine until you go to the bathroom.

Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You have a higher risk of kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years. Other kidney problems include:

  • Cancer
  • Cysts
  • Stones
  • Infections

Your doctor can do blood and urine tests to check if you have kidney disease. If your kidneys fail, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Urine and Urination

Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.

You may have problems with urination if you have:

  • Kidney failure
  • Urinary tract infections
  • An enlarged prostate
  • Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis
  • A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder

Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider. Urinalysis and other urine tests can help to diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.
