What Chronic Liver Disease ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Chronic Liver Disease ICD codes, please note that there are no ICD-10 codes that mention Chronic Liver Disease. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any! The ICD-10 codes you need to look for are specific to the causes of Chronic Liver Disease. Here are some examples:
- K70.10 - Alcoholic hepatitis without ascites
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Hepatitis due to alcohol consumption, but it’s not accompanied by ascites (the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity).
- K70.30 - Alcoholic cirrhosis of liver without ascites
This is similar to Item 1, but this time, the patient has Cirrhosis due to alcohol consumption. Cirrhosis is the permanent scarring of the liver. This can get worse over time and eventually lead to liver failure.
- K71.50 - Toxic liver disease with chronic active hepatitis without ascites
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Toxic Liver Disease accompanied by Chronic Active Hepatitis, but not ascites.
- K75.0 - Abscess of liver
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have an abscess in their liver. You can consider this as an aftereffect of Chronic Liver Disease.
- K75.4 - Autoimmune hepatitis
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Autoimmune Hepatitis. This type of hepatitis is characterized by the immune system attacking liver cells, which causes liver inflammation and damage. It’s considered a long-term chronic liver disease.
- B18.2 - Chronic viral hepatitis C
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Chronic Hepatitis C, which the Hepatitis C Virus causes. This can result in cirrhosis and cancer.
