*This does NOT include hepatic encephalopathy. To code that, use one of the following (which can be combined with a cause if known and not due to alcohol):

**[[Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy, acute or subacute NOS]]

**[[Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy, chronic NOS]]

**[[Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy, not specified as acute or chronic]]

**[[Liver failure ~~w/wo hepatic encephalopathy,~~ due to toxin/drug NOS]]

**[[Liver failure due to toxin/drug NOS, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy]]

**[[Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy~~, alcoholic~~]]

**[[Liver failure, alcoholic, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy]]

* There was some concern that using those codes would overstate liver failure, but as answered by Allan: "Of course not every liver patient with encephalopathy has HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY. They could alternatively have an enceph due to sepsis or drugs etc. BUT IF the team believes it IS H.E., then it should be coded as such and indeed this patient DOES have liver failure. H.E. only occurs in patients with liver failure."
