{{ICD10 transition status | OldDxArticle =Alcoholic Liver Disease | CurrentStatus = reconciled | InitialEditorAssigned = not assigned }} == Additional Info == *Cirrhosis is an anatomic abnormality where the liver is small and "scarred" in a pattern that results in much of the liver being replaced by nodular scarring. **Thus, the diagnosis is usually made by imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, etc) that shows a shrunken liver in the right clinical setting. **Occasionally the diagnosis is made by liver biopsy. **[[:Category:cirrhosis|cirrhosis]] is ''NOT'' the same as [[:Category:hepatitis|hepatitis]] (which usually gives an enlarged liver). **Liver cirrhosis is ''NOT'' the same thing as [[:Category:liver failure|liver failure]]. They can occur alone, or together. == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == *Codes for other aspects of alcoholic liver disease: **[[Liver disease without liver failure, alcoholic]] **[[Liver failure, alcoholic, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy]] **[[Liver, nonalcoholic steatohepatosis (NASH)]] {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Alcohol related}} {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Liver disease}} == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Liver failure}} == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
