ICD-10-CM Code K76.0
Fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.K76.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code K760 is used to code Fatty liver
Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease (FLD), is a reversible condition wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis (i.e., abnormal retention of lipids within a cell). Despite having multiple causes, fatty liver can be considered a single disease that occurs worldwide in those with excessive alcohol intake and the obese (with or without effects of insulin resistance). The condition is also associated with other diseases that influence fat metabolism. When this process of fat metabolism is disrupted, the fat can accumulate in the liver in excessive amounts, thus resulting in a fatty liver. It is difficult to distinguish alcoholic FLD from nonalcoholic FLD, and both show microvesicular and macrovesicular fatty changes at different stages.
