Additional Info
- This is a wastebasket code to use for liver failure:
- When the TIMING of its onset isn't clear -- i.e. not clear if fulminant/acute, subacute, or chronic. If the timing IS clear, don't use this code.
- With or without hepatic encephalopathy
- NOT due to ethanol or another drug/toxin.
- Also code the cause of the liver failure, if known -- unless it's alcohol or another drug/toxin, as liver failure due to those have their own codes.
- 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.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- This is one of several different codes for liver failure:
