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, but 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 5 different codes for liver failure:
- Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy, alcoholic
- Liver failure w/wo hepatic encephalopathy, due to toxin/drug NOS
- 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
