Additional Info
- 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 due to toxin/drug NOS, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy
- Liver failure, alcoholic, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy
|
These instructions imply that anytime we have someone come in with altered mentation due to hepatic encephalopathy, that we need to code them as one of the liver failures. This leads to a lot of patients being labelled as liver failure. I'm not sure if I am using this code correctly
