K83.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of disease of biliary tract, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code K839 is used to code Ascending cholangitis

Ascending cholangitis, also known as acute cholangitis or simply cholangitis, is an infection of the bile duct (cholangitis), usually caused by bacteria ascending from its junction with the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). It tends to occur if the bile duct is already partially obstructed by gallstones.
