K74.6Other and unspecified cirrhosis of liver

K74.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified cirrhosis of liver. It belongs to category K74 (fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver), block K70-K77 (diseases of liver) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within K74, choose K74.6 (Other and unspecified cirrhosis of liver) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: hepatic fibrosis (K74.0), hepatic sclerosis (K74.1), hepatic fibrosis with hepatic sclerosis (K74.2), primary biliary cirrhosis (K74.3), secondary biliary cirrhosis (K74.4) and biliary cirrhosis, unspecified (K74.5).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K74.60 (liver) and K74.69 (liver).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
