ICD-10 Code K91.83 – Postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K91.83 – Postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome
What it is
K91.83 identifies hepatorenal syndrome that develops after a procedure. Use it when documentation links new liver-related kidney failure to a recent intervention.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes may describe worsening kidney function in the setting of liver dysfunction after surgery or another procedure.
When to use this code
Use K91.83 when the provider documents postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome, or clearly states that the renal failure is a complication of a procedure. Code the condition only when the relationship is documented. Check documentation if the chart does not specify causation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hepatorenal syndrome unrelated to a procedure or for nonspecific postoperative kidney dysfunction. If the record does not connect the condition to the procedure, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the postoperative or postprocedural link is explicit; K91.83 depends on documented causation.
