What hepatic cirrhosis ICD codes can I use?
If you’re looking for hepatic cirrhosis ICD codes, we’d like you to know that there’s much to pick from. Here are six examples of such codes that you can use when dealing with patients with hepatic cirrhosis:
- K71.7 - Toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have toxic liver disease whose condition is accompanied by fibrosis and cirrhosis.
- K74.00 - Hepatic fibrosis, unspecified: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have hepatic fibrosis. This problem is characterized by the formation of abnormally large scar tissues in the liver. This will eventually lead to hepatic cirrhosis if left unchecked and untreated.
- K74.3 - Primary biliary cirrhosis: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, also known as Primary Biliary Cholangitis. This type of hepatic cirrhosis slowly destroys the liver’s bile ducts.
- K74.4 - Secondary biliary cirrhosis: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Secondary Biliary Cirrhosis. This hepatic cirrhosis causes bile build-up that damages the liver’s tissues.
- K74.5 - Biliary cirrhosis, unspecified: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Biliary Cirrhosis, but it’s not identified as to which type of Biliary Cirrhosis the patient has. If the specific type is confirmed, please use either Item 3 or 4.
- K74.69 - Other cirrhosis of the liver: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have (Hepatic) Cirrhosis. This ICD-10 code should only be used if the patient's type of hepatic cirrhosis doesn’t have a specific ICD-10 code.
