Additional Info
- This is a specific entity, not a wastebasket category.
- It is a specific type of Fatty liver (hepatosteatosis) The difference between fatty liver and this code is that with NASH there is inflammation and liver cell damage, along with fat in the liver.
- The new terminology for this entity is MASH - Metabolic associated steatohepatitis
- So if a patient has fatty liver that is specifically called Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or (MASH) use this code, otherwise use the more general code Fatty liver (hepatosteatosis)
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Fatty liver (hepatosteatosis) -- this is used for all causes of fatty liver except NASH.
