Lupus Nephritis ICD-10-CM Codes

No, unfortunately. You’ll have to resort to ICD-10 codes related to systemic lupus erythematosus, and they need to have something to do with the kidneys.

Blood tests, urinalyses, urine protein tests, and/or kidney biopsies.

Treatment lupus nephritis, if it hasn't led to kidney failure, typically involves a combination of interventions. These include blood pressure medication, diuretics, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs. Additionally, a carefully designed diet plan that limits salt and protein intake is recommended. However, in cases where kidney failure has occurred, the most effective options are dialysis and/or kidney transplants.
