ICD-10 Code K76.89 – Other specified diseases of liver (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K76.89 – Other specified diseases of liver
What it is
K76.89 is used for liver disorders that are documented but do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM liver code. It serves as a catch-all for other named hepatic conditions when the record supports them.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see nonspecific liver-related findings, imaging abnormalities, or provider-described hepatic disease that is not otherwise classified.
When to use this code
Use K76.89 when the clinician documents a specific liver condition that is not indexed to another code and is not simply abnormal liver tests. It is appropriate when the note names the disorder but no more specific code exists. Check documentation if the diagnosis is vague or incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general abnormal liver function tests or for liver diseases with their own more specific ICD-10-CM code. If the record supports a defined condition elsewhere in the index, code that diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Look for the exact provider-documented liver diagnosis and confirm that no more specific code applies before choosing K76.89.
