Additional Info
- This is the code to use for alcoholic liver disease without liver failure.
- It is not the same thing as Liver cirrhosis, alcoholic. They can occur alone, or together.
- Remember that liver failure is a distinct manifestation of advanced liver disease that can be caused by many different types of liver disease. Elevations (even big elevations) alone of transaminases is not liver failure. In liver failure, there must be evidence of one or both of:
- synthetic dysfunction indicated by coagulopathy (with elevated PT, INR), very low albumin and other plasma proteins
- hepatic encephalopathy
- if there is evidence of alcohol related liver failure, use Liver failure, alcoholic, w/wo hepatic encephalopathy
