N06: Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion

Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion refers to a group of conditions where high levels of protein are found in the urine accompanied by a particular abnormality or change in the tissue or organs. This situation typically arises due to some damage or dysfunction in the kidneys. The kidneys, which are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and maintaining balance of body fluids, might not function properly, thereby allowing excessive protein to pass into the urine. Common symptoms include foamy urine and swelling in the hands, feet, abdomen, or face. Over time, this condition can progress and affect the overall function of the kidney. It's important to note that different underlying issues may cause these morphological lesions; these may include infections, autoimmune disorders, or other diseases affecting the kidneys.
