ICD-10 Code K76.8 – Other specified diseases of liver (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K76.8 – Other specified diseases of liver
What it is
K76.8 is used for liver disorders that are documented but do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM liver code. It captures other specified conditions of the liver when the record names the diagnosis clearly.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include liver-related symptoms, abnormal imaging, or provider-documented hepatic disease that is not classified elsewhere.
When to use this code
Use K76.8 when the clinician documents a specific liver condition and no more precise code applies. It is appropriate when the diagnosis is clearly stated but not represented by another liver code. Check documentation if the record is vague or incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use K76.8 for unspecified liver disease or for conditions with a more exact ICD-10-CM code. Do not use it when the chart only says “liver abnormality” without a defined diagnosis.
Coding tip
Assign K76.8 only after confirming the provider documented a distinct liver disorder that lacks a specific code.
