ICD-10 Code K75.2 – Nonspecific reactive hepatitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K75.2 – Nonspecific reactive hepatitis
What it is
K75.2 identifies nonspecific reactive hepatitis, a liver inflammation pattern that occurs as a reaction to another condition rather than as a primary liver disease. Use it when the record names this diagnosis and does not specify a more exact cause.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note nonspecific liver inflammation, abnormal liver tests, or hepatitis described as reactive, secondary, or associated with another illness.
When to use this code
Use K75.2 when the provider documents nonspecific reactive hepatitis and does not identify viral, alcoholic, autoimmune, or other specific hepatitis. It may also fit when hepatitis is described as reactive to another disease process and no more specific code is supported. Check documentation for the underlying condition and code it separately when instructed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for specific hepatitis types, such as viral or autoimmune hepatitis, when they are documented. Do not assign it if the chart only mentions abnormal liver enzymes without a diagnosis of reactive hepatitis.
Coding tip
Code the underlying condition first when documentation links the hepatitis to another disease, and verify whether a more specific hepatitis code applies.
