Additional Info
- This is the code to use for CHRONIC liver failure, with or without hepatic encephalopathy, that is NOT due to ethanol or another drug/toxin, and is ALSO NOT fulminant, acute or subacute.
- 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.
