N29: Other disorders of kidney and ureter in diseases classified elsewhere
The category termed as "Other disorders of kidney and ureter in diseases classified elsewhere" encompasses a variety of ailments related to the kidney and ureter that arise due to other underlying diseases. These disorders can affect how your kidneys filter waste from your blood or how urine flows from your kidneys to your bladder. Potential issues may include kidney inflammation, impaired kidney function, ureteric obstruction, among others. The symptoms may vary widely based on the specific disorder and underlying condition, but common signs often include changes in urine production, blood in the urine, unexplained swelling, or persistent pain in the lower back. Progression and severity of these disorders are also dependent on the primary disease. These secondary kidney and ureter disorders can be associated with a wide range of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, infections, and metabolic diseases.
