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.
- It includes liver failure due to: shock liver (also known as ischemic hepatitis), viral infection, autoimmune, etc -- as long as the time course is fulminant or acute or subacute
- Also code the cause of the liver failure, if known (e.g. shock)
- 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:
| Liver failure codes: |
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
Code the cause if known, e.g. shock liver, Hep B, Hep C, other viral hepatitis, immune-mediated liver diseases, or other causes of liver disease
- Hepatitis B, acute
- Hepatitis C, acute
- Viral hepatitis, acute, NOS
- Hepatitis B, chronic
- Hepatitis C, chronic
- Viral hepatitis, chronic, NOS
- Hepatitis A, acute
- Hepatitis, autoimmune
