ICD10 code of Cirrhosis and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Cirrhosis? And the ICD9 code for Cirrhosis?
ICD10 code: K74.60 - Cirrhosis of liver, unspecified
ICD9 code: 571.5 - Cirrhosis of liver, without mention of alcohol
Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by the replacement of healthy liver tissue with scar tissue, leading to impaired liver function. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), cirrhosis is classified under K74.6. This code specifically refers to "Cirrhosis, unspecified." This means that the specific cause or type of cirrhosis is not specified, and further coding is required to provide more details.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), cirrhosis had multiple codes depending on the underlying cause. Some examples of ICD-9 codes for cirrhosis include 571.2 (Alcoholic cirrhosis of liver), 571.5 (Cirrhosis of liver without mention of alcohol), and 571.6 (Biliary cirrhosis).
It is important to note that ICD-10 codes provide more specificity compared to ICD-9, allowing healthcare professionals to accurately document and track various types and causes of cirrhosis. These codes are crucial for statistical analysis, research, and reimbursement purposes. However, it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional or coding specialist for accurate and up-to-date information regarding coding practices.
