Toxoplasma tubulo-interstitial nephropathy

This code signifies kidney inflammation affecting the tubules and interstitial tissue, specifically caused by an infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It describes a specific renal manifestation of toxoplasmosis.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates tubulo-interstitial nephropathy with a confirmed or highly suspected etiology of toxoplasmosis. This is typically seen in immunocompromised patients or those with disseminated toxoplasmosis.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly links the nephropathy to Toxoplasma infection.
• Code the underlying toxoplasmosis (e.g., B58.9) as the primary diagnosis if the nephropathy is a manifestation.
• Do not use this code for other forms of toxoplasmosis affecting the kidney, such as glomerulonephritis.
