Additional Info
- This is the code to use for fulminant OR acute OR subacute liver failure, with or without hepatic encephalopathy that is NOT due to ethanol or another drug/toxin.
- Remember that liver failure is a distinct manifestation of advanced liver disease that can be caused by many different types of liver disease. In liver failure, there is evidence of one or both of:
- synthetic dysfunction indicated by coagulopathy (with elevated PT, INR), very low albumin and other plasma proteins
- hepatic encephalopathy
- Liver cirrhosis is NOT the same thing as liver failure. They can occur alone, or together.
- Cirrhosis rarely has time to develop in fulminant or acute or even subacute liver failure.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- This is one of several different codes for liver failure:
