What fatty liver ICD codes can I use?
If you’re looking for fatty liver ICD codes, we’d like you to know that there are only a few that you can select from. Here are six examples of fatty liver-related ICD-10 codes you can use:
- K76.0 - Fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a fatty liver. This can be used for fatty liver in general or fatty liver caused by certain things that don’t have specific ICD codes.
- K70.0 - Alcoholic fatty liver: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a fatty liver due to alcohol consumption.
- O26.619 - Liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, unspecified trimester: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have liver and biliary tract disorders while pregnant. You can use this if they have a fatty liver due to their pregnancy (which is rare).
- T37.5X5A - Adverse effect of antiviral drugs, initial encounter: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient with an adverse impact caused by anti-viral medications. You may use this code if the person has a fatty liver due to taking specific medicine. This code also has the initial encounter label, meaning the patient is being treated actively.
- T37.5X5D - Adverse effect of antiviral drugs, subsequent encounter: This is the same as Item 4, but this time, the code has a subsequent encounter label, which means they are in the recovery phase and are still being given routine care.
- T37.5X5S - Adverse effect of antiviral drugs, sequela: This is the same as Item 4, but this time, the code has a sequela label, which means the patient is dealing with the aftereffects of the problem. Two other ICD-10 codes should accompany sequela codes; one should designate the sequela’s nature, while the other should describe the sequela (meaning its effects).
