It is histologically characterized by deposits in the glomerular capillary wall between the epithelial cell and the basement membrane and a thickening of the membrane. Also characteristic are outward projections of the membrane between the epithelial deposits in the form of "spikes". There is some agreement that the deposits are antigen-antibody complexes. 583.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.1 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.2 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with lesion of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Chronic glomerulonephritis characterized histologically by proliferation of mesangial cells, increase in the mesangial matrix, and a thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. The wall thickening is sometimes said to be a result of the interposition of mesangial cytoplasm or matrix between the basement membrane and the endothelium of the capillary wall. It is often divided into types I and II, and sometimes III. Pathogenesis is not well understood, but some types are thought to involve the immune system, with the complement system, in particular, being implicated. 583.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.2 contains 16 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.4 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with lesion of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis 583.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.4 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.6 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with lesion of renal cortical necrosis The death of all the functioning renal cells of the kidney cortex with continued viability of the majority of the medullary units. It is due usually to the arterial distribution peculiar to the kidney which makes the renal cortex more susceptible to diminished blood flow. 583.6 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.6 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.7 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with lesion of renal medullary necrosis 583.7 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.7 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.8 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with other specified pathological lesion in kidney 583.8 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.81 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic in diseases classified elsewhere 583.81 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.81 contains 45 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.89 Other nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with specified pathological lesion in kidney 583.89 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.89 contains 31 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 583.9 Nephritis and nephropathy not specified as acute or chronic with unspecified pathological lesion in kidney Inflammation of the kidney. It is a focal or diffuse proliferative or destructive process which may involve the glomerulus, tubule, or interstitial renal tissue. Glomerular disease characterized by an inflammatory reaction, with leukocyte infiltration and cellular proliferation of the glomeruli, or that appears to be the result of immune glomerular injury. 583.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 583.9 contains 18 index entries
