Is Primary membranous nephropathy a rare disease?
Primary membranous nephropathy is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in white persons without diabetes, but it is a rare disease as defined by the European Commission on Rare Diseases (1 case per 2000 of population) or the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (200,000 prevalent cases in the United States).
What is the ICD-10 code for membranous nephropathy?
ICD-10 code N04. 2 for Nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range – Diseases of the genitourinary system .
What is primary membranous nephropathy?
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is a kidney-specific, autoimmune glomerular disease that presents with increased protein in the urine associated with a pathognomonic pattern of injury in glomeruli (Figures 1–3). Both clinical and pathogenetic aspects of the disease have been recently reviewed elsewhere (1–8).
What is membranous Glomerulopathy?
Membranous nephropathy (MN), also known as membranous glomerulopathy, is one of the many glomerular diseases causing nephrotic syndrome. It is characterized by proteinuria, presenting with peripheral edema and frothy urine. The etiology can be primary or secondary.
What causes membranous Glomerulopathy?
Often, membranous nephropathy results from some type of autoimmune activity. Your body’s immune system mistakes healthy tissue as foreign and attacks it with substances called autoantibodies. These autoantibodies target certain proteins located in the kidney’s filtering systems (glomeruli).
What is the ICD 10 code for membranous nephropathy?
Is membranous nephropathy the same as membranous Glomerulopathy?
What is primary membranous Glomerulopathy?

Is membranous nephropathy the same as membranous glomerulonephritis?
Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a specific type of GN. MGN develops when inflammation of your kidney structures causes problems with the functioning of your kidney. MGN is known by other names, including extramembranous glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, and nephritis.
