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.
