N08: Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere, as the name suggests, are kidney conditions that occur as a result of other diseases. Located in the kidneys, glomeruli function to filter your blood and remove waste products. A disorder in these structures can affect their functioning, leading to potential kidney damage. These disorders can be due to various underlying diseases such as diabetes or lupus, which specifically damage the glomeruli. Symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the condition and might include swelling in the face, hands, feet, or abdomen; changes in urine color or frequency; or high blood pressure. Over time, disease progression can lead to kidney failure if left untreated. These disorders aren't contagious or hereditary but are secondary to another condition the individual has.
