CHB ICD-10-CM Codes

While chronic Hepatitis B is not always curable, antiviral medications can manage it effectively. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical care are crucial to prevent complications.

Diagnosis involves blood tests that detect specific markers of the Hepatitis B virus, including the HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) and HBV DNA.

Vaccination against Hepatitis B is the primary method of prevention. Practicing safe sex and avoiding sharing needles or personal items that may be contaminated with blood are also necessary preventive measures.
