About coding Zieve's syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for Zieve's syndrome is K70.0 (Alcoholic fatty liver).
Within K70 (alcoholic liver disease), K70.0 is specifically for alcoholic fatty liver. Related codes cover hepatitis (K70.1), fibrosis and sclerosis of liver (K70.2), cirrhosis of liver (K70.3), hepatic failure (K70.4) and unspecified (K70.9).
Use an additional code to identify: alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
