    ICD-10-CM Code For Other Diseases Of Liver: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group K76 includes a variety of other liver diseases such as fatty change of liver, chronic passive congestion, portal hypertension, and other specified and unspecified disorders of liver not classified elsewhere. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios involving hepatic dysfunction, structural liver abnormalities, vascular liver disease, or metabolic liver injury, capturing disease severity and organ involvement. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM K76 group supports proper claim adjudication / complete clinical documentation / appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM K76: Other Diseases Of Liver Overview

    The diagnoses in this group represent a range of nonviral, nonalcoholic, and miscellaneous liver disorders that can affect hepatic function and structure. They target the liver and related metabolic or vascular processes, including fatty change, fibrosis, and vascular disorders. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it captures clinical complexity and supports appropriate claim adjudication and resource allocation.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a clinician documents a liver condition that fits the specified categories within K76 and is not attributable to more specific liver disease groups. Select the most specific code for the documented condition to reflect severity, anatomical involvement, and clinical complexity.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult patient with a history of heavy alcohol use presents to the emergency department with jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, fever, and confusion; laboratory tests show markedly elevated liver enzymes and imaging demonstrates hepatic steatosis with signs of acute inflammation. The clinician documents an acute fatty change of the liver related to alcohol use and assigns a code from this group to capture the hepatic steatosis and acute alcoholic-related liver injury. Typical codes: K76.0, K76.2
    • A middle-aged patient in primary care with long-standing obesity and type 2 diabetes is found on routine ultrasound to have diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver; liver function tests are mildly abnormal but the patient has no acute symptoms. The provider diagnoses nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a chronic condition requiring monitoring and assigns a code from this group to indicate hepatic steatosis without evidence of acute liver failure. Typical codes: K76.0, K76.9
    • A hospitalized patient with known chronic liver disease develops progressive hepatic encephalopathy and portal hypertension complications such as ascites and variceal bleeding; imaging and labs indicate chronic passive congestion and fibrosis of the liver as contributing factors. A code from this group is used to capture the chronic secondary liver disease and its contribution to the acute decompensation as a comorbidity affecting management and outcomes. Typical codes: K76.6, K76.81
