CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

N01.7 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 698 through 700, 791, 793. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) and places an inpatient stay in the highest severity level of its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 286 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as acute glomerulonephritis associated with another disorder. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Nephritis; nephrosis; renal sclerosis.

N01.7 does not risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage under the CMS-HCC V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the ESRD (V21) category 141 for payment year 2027.

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to N01.7: its own notes plus those printed at N01, block N00-N08, and Chapter 14. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Includes

From N01 Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome applies to 11 codes
  • rapidly progressive glomerular disease

Applicable To

Conditions this code is used for: synonyms of the title or, for "other specified" codes, the conditions assigned to it. The list is not exhaustive.

  • Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with extracapillary glomerulonephritis

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • nephritic syndrome NOS (N05.-)
From Block N00-N08 Glomerular diseases applies to 107 codes

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 14 (N00-N99) Diseases of the genitourinary system applies to 838 codes
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)

Patient EducationClinical

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.

Questions About N01.7Overview

Is N01.7 (Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does N01.7 group to?

When rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 793, 791, 699, 698, 700, with relative weights from 0.6740 to 4.2192 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is N01.7 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists N01.7 as an MCC (major complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it places the inpatient stay in the highest-weighted DRG of its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 286 closely related codes in its exclusion list.

Can N01.7 be reported with a code from N05?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at N01, which applies to N01.7, lists "nephritic syndrome NOS (N05.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of N01.7?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis converts to ICD-9-CM 580.4 (ac rapidly progr nephrit). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

Does N01.7 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Not for Medicare Advantage: N01.7 maps to no category in the CMS-HCC V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the ESRD (V21) category 141 (Nephritis).
