ICD-10 Code K75 – Other inflammatory liver diseases (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K75 – Other inflammatory liver diseases
What it is
K75 identifies inflammatory liver disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. Use it when the record documents an inflammatory liver condition, but the exact subtype is not stated or is otherwise classified here.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note liver inflammation, abnormal liver findings, hepatomegaly, jaundice, or nonspecific right upper quadrant discomfort, depending on the underlying condition.
When to use this code
Use K75 when the clinician documents an inflammatory liver disease and no more specific code applies. It may also fit when the note uses a broad diagnosis such as inflammatory hepatitis or other inflammatory liver disorder. If the chart names a specific cause or subtype, code that condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use K75 when documentation supports viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, toxic liver injury, or another clearly identified liver disorder. Check documentation if the record points to a more specific diagnosis.
Coding tip
Before assigning K75, look for the exact liver diagnosis and any stated cause; code the most specific documented condition available.
