About K76

K76 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of liver. It belongs to 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K76.0 (classified), K76.1 (liver), K76.2 (liver), K76.3 (liver), K76.4 (hepatis), K76.5 (disease), K76.6 (hypertension), K76.7 (syndrome) and 2 more.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of K76, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: alcoholic liver disease (K70.-), amyloid degeneration of liver (E85.-), cystic disease of liver (congenital) (Q44.6), hepatic vein thrombosis (I82.0) and 4 more.

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