Recurrent and persistent hematuria with C3 glomrlneph

This code signifies the presence of ongoing or recurring blood in the urine, specifically linked to C3 glomerulonephritis. C3 glomerulonephritis is a rare kidney disease characterized by abnormal deposits of the C3 protein within the glomeruli, leading to inflammation and impaired kidney function.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states recurrent or persistent hematuria in a patient diagnosed with C3 glomerulonephritis. This diagnosis is typically confirmed by kidney biopsy showing C3 deposits. Use this code when the hematuria is directly attributed to the C3 glomerulonephritis.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the hematuria to C3 glomerulonephritis, not just a general diagnosis of hematuria.
• Distinguish this from N02.6, which is for dense deposit disease, a distinct C3 glomerulopathy.
• Code any associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages separately, as appropriate.
