About K75.8

K75.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified inflammatory liver diseases. It belongs to category K75 (other inflammatory liver diseases), 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 K75, choose K75.8 (Other specified inflammatory liver diseases) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: abscess of liver (K75.0), phlebitis of portal vein (K75.1), nonspecific reactive hepatitis (K75.2), granulomatous hepatitis, not elsewhere classified (K75.3), autoimmune hepatitis (K75.4) and inflammatory liver disease, unspecified (K75.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K75.81 ((NASH)) and K75.89 (diseases).

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