Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. R94.5 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of abnormal results of liver function studies. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
ICD-9-CM 794.8 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 794.8 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 794.8 was previously used, R94.5 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Elevated LFTS is also known as abnl finding on liver function, abnl liver function study, abnormal finding on liver function, abnormal liver function, abnormal liver function study, liver function tests abnormal. Applies to abnormal liver scan.
Elevated LFTS is an abnormally high level of enzymes or other chemicals in the liver as concluded by a liver function test. Symptoms of Elevated LFTS are yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, tenderness or swelling in the abdomen, dark urine, black or bloody stool, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue and weakness.
The cause is almost alwaysmultifactorial, including intrahepaticcholestasis from sepsis, hepaticcongestion from heart failure and, lesscommonly, drugs. Acute changes in LFTs also occur secondary to other organ dysfunction, such as hyper-orhypothyroidism and active rheumatoidarthritis; these normalise on treatment ofthe underlying condition.
PT is a useful indicator of liver failure inboth acute and chronic hepatic injury, provided that cholestasis with malab-sorption of vitaminK has been excludedby parenteral administration of vitaminK (10mg/day for threedays). In acuteliver failure, the PT may rise to over50seconds and is the most importantpredictor of outcome. Specialist advicefrom a liver transplant centre should besought early. It should be rememberedthat there are large inter-laboratorydifferences in PT results due to variabilityin thromboplastin reagents used in theassay. In cirrhosis, levels are usually twoto five seconds prolonged. A PT elevatedto over 20 seconds in a cirrhotic is anindication of very poor synthetic func-tion and is associated with a poor out-come (see below).
GGT is elevated both inchronic liver disease (iecirrhosis), evenin the absence of active alcohol misuse –and so is not diagnostic of currentalcohol misuse – and in uncomplicatedhepatic steatosis. Induction of theenzyme also occurs due to many drugsincluding chlorpromazine andphenytoin. An isolated raised GGT in anindividual with a normal prothrombintime (PT) and albumin in the absence ofclinical signs of liver disease does notneed further investigation.
ALP is produced by bile ducts but also bybone, intestine and placenta. The mostcommon cause of an elevated ALP is biliary obstruction, most likely if pain ispresent. In contrast, the presence ofitching in the absence of jaundicesuggests intrahepatic disease (ieprimarybiliary cirrhosis (PBC) or primarysclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) (Table 4).Secondary cholangitis, due to biliaryobstruction, a blocked biliary stent orPSC, will cause worsening of liver bio-chemistry which improves on treatingthe infection. In the elderly, biliaryobstruction from common bile ductstones may present only with confusionand an elevated ALP.
