N25-N29: Other disorders of kidney and ureter
N28: Other disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
The group of conditions termed as "Other disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified" encompasses various illnesses that impact the kidneys or ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. These disorders may arise due to numerous causes ranging from infection, inflammation, obstruction, or abnormal growths. Common symptoms may include back or side pain, changes in urine output or color, swelling of the hands and feet, and fever. As the disease progresses, these conditions can lead to significant changes in kidney function, and may impact other body systems as well. It's crucial to understand that these disorders often progress quietly, meaning symptoms may not appear until the condition has advanced. This group of disorders encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions with variable outcomes, depending on the specific disorder and its severity.
