ICD-10 Code K75.89 – Other specified inflammatory liver diseases (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K75.89 – Other specified inflammatory liver diseases
What it is
K75.89 identifies inflammatory liver disease that does not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. Use it when documentation names a distinct inflammatory liver condition, but not viral, autoimmune, alcoholic, or other coded hepatitis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records may describe liver inflammation, abnormal liver tests, hepatomegaly, or biopsy findings consistent with inflammatory injury.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a specified inflammatory liver disorder and no more specific code applies. It may fit cases labeled “other inflammatory liver disease,” “nonspecific hepatitis,” or a named inflammatory process not classified elsewhere. Check documentation carefully to confirm the condition is hepatic and inflammatory.
Do not use for
Do not use K75.89 for viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, or other liver disorders with a more specific code. If the record only says “liver disease” without inflammatory detail, check documentation.
Coding tip
Look for the exact provider wording; if a more specific inflammatory liver diagnosis is documented, code that instead of K75.89.
