2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K76 – Other diseases of liver

What it is

K76 is a broad ICD-10-CM category for liver disorders that do not fit a more specific code. Use it when the record documents a liver disease, but the exact condition is not named.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include abnormal liver imaging, hepatomegaly, or nonspecific liver-related symptoms, but the code depends on the documented diagnosis.

When to use this code

Use K76 when the provider identifies an “other” liver disease and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It is appropriate for documented liver conditions that are not classified elsewhere in the chapter. If the chart names a specific disorder, code that condition instead.

Do not use for

Do not use K76 for common, separately coded liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or fatty liver when a specific code is available. Check documentation if the diagnosis is unclear.

Coding tip

Always code the most specific liver diagnosis documented; use K76 only when the record supports a nonspecific “other” liver disease.
