Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion (N06) ICD-10-CM
The N06 code range covers isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion with 16 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 14 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A 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.

About the N06 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section N06 covers various types of isolated proteinuria linked to specific kidney morphological lesions. These codes identify proteinuria occurring without other symptoms, each associated with different underlying glomerular abnormalities.
These codes are used to classify cases where proteinuria—a condition characterized by excess protein in the urine—is present alongside distinct kidney tissue changes. For example, codes N06.0 and N06.1 correspond to minor glomerular abnormalities and focal segmental glomerular lesions. Codes like N06.21 (also known as idiopathic glomerulonephritis or idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis) specify primary membranous nephropathy with isolated proteinuria. Other codes cover conditions such as dense deposit disease (N06.6), crescentic glomerulonephritis (N06.7), and C3 glomerulonephritis (N06.A). The N06.9 code refers to isolated proteinuria with unspecified morphologic lesions, often termed isolated non-nephrotic proteinuria. These distinctions allow precise coding for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning related to nephritis, nephrosis, and renal sclerosis conditions presenting with isolated proteinuria.
