N02.5 vs N02.A
N02.5 (Recurrent and persistent hematuria with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis) compared with N02.A (Recurrent and persistent hematuria with C3 glomerulonephritis), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
