Valid for Submission
N08 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere. The code is valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code N08 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like chronic glomerulonephritis associated with another disorder, cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, glomerular disorder due to non-neuropathic heredofamilial amyloidosis, glomerular disorders in blood diseases and disorders involving the immune mechanism, glomerular disorders in neoplastic diseases, glomerulonephritis co-occurrent and due to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive vasculitis, etc

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code N08:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Glomerulonephritis
- Nephritis
- Nephropathy
Code First
Code FirstCertain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
- underlying disease, such as:
- amyloidosis E85
- congenital syphilis A50.5
- cryoglobulinemia D89.1
- disseminated intravascular coagulation D65
- gout M1A M10
- microscopic polyangiitis M31.7
- multiple myeloma C90.0
- sepsis A40.0 A41.9
- sickle-cell disease D57.0 D57.8
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- glomerulonephritis, nephritis and nephropathy (in):
- antiglomerular basement membrane disease M31.0
- diabetes E08 E13
- gonococcal A54.21
- Goodpasture's syndrome M31.0
- hemolytic-uremic syndrome D59.3
- lupus M32.14
- mumps B26.83
- syphilis A52.75
- systemic lupus erythematosus M32.14
- Wegener's granulomatosis M31.31
- pyelonephritis in diseases classified elsewhere N16
- renal tubulo-interstitial disorders classified elsewhere N16
Code Edits
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
- Manifestation diagnoses - Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis.
Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Chronic glomerulonephritis associated with another disorder
- Cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis
- Glomerular disorder due to non-neuropathic heredofamilial amyloidosis

Diagnostic Related Groups
The ICD-10 code N08 is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V37.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2019 through 09/30/2020.
- 698 - OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITH MCC
- 699 - OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITH CC
- 700 - OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC
