ICD-10-CM Code For Proteinuria: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group R80 includes diagnoses for abnormal quantities of protein in the urine, such as albuminuria, proteinuria, and related laboratory findings indicative of renal dysfunction. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document detection of protein in urine specimens, capturing severity or persistence when applicable and guiding subsequent diagnostic or monitoring decisions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM R80 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM R80: Proteinuria Overview
The ICD-10-CM R80 group represents diagnoses for the presence of abnormal quantities of protein in the urine, commonly indicating renal glomerular or tubular dysfunction. These codes target the urinary system and are used when proteinuria is identified on laboratory testing without a definitive underlying renal disease diagnosis. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it supports appropriate claim adjudication and documents the clinical reason for further renal evaluation.
