Tips & Expertise: Liver Disease & Treatment

Q: Question about fatty liver disease. It’s my understanding that fatty liver disease is often the first stage in liver disease and can progress to cirrhosis. If the provider documents fatty liver disease as well as cirrhosis, should you code both or is the cirrhosis enough? The excludes notes don’t prevent coding them together.

I noticed your use of R74.01 and R74.02 for elevated LFT’s. I’ve always used code R94.5 – abnormal liver function studies. In review of the alpha index, I see both “studies” and “test” listed. Thanks for clarifying the difference.

Abstract

Objective The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis is often underestimated in healthcare and administrative databases that define disease burden using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes.

Introduction

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is now the most common chronic liver disease (CLD) worldwide and is reported to be a rising cause of advanced liver disease, primary liver cancer and liver-related mortality.

Results

A total of 312 encounters among 271 patients were selected; however, four encounters were excluded (n=2 data not available and n=2 post liver transplant admissions). Therefore, the final sample contained 308 encounters among 267 patients (41 patients contributed two encounters each).

Discussion

Under-recording of NAFLD in population-based or administrative databases is widely recognised, although the reasons for this remain unclear.
