Why ICD-10 codes are important
Lower than normal bilirubin levels are usually not a concern. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage or disease. Higher than normal levels of direct bilirubin in your blood may indicate your liver isn't clearing bilirubin properly.
Typically, bilirubin levels fall somewhere between 0.3 and 1.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Anything above 1.2 mg/dL is usually considered elevated.
ICD-10 code: R94. 5 Abnormal results of liver function studies.
High levels of bilirubin could mean your liver is not functioning correctly. However, high levels can also be due to medications, exercise, or certain foods. Bilirubin is also a product of breakdown of red blood cells, and an elevated reading may be related to disorders of red blood cells and not liver disease.
What is the difference between direct bilirubin and total bilirubin? Total bilirubin is the sum of direct and indirect bilirubin, whereas direct bilirubin is conjugated bilirubin.
The conjugated (direct) bilirubin level is often elevated by alcohol, infectious hepatitis, drug reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Posthepatic disorders also can cause conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
R94. 5 - Abnormal results of liver function studies | ICD-10-CM.
Elevated levels of bilirubin (jaundice) might indicate liver damage or disease or certain types of anemia. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). GGT is an enzyme in the blood. Higher-than-normal levels may indicate liver or bile duct damage.
ICD-10 code R94. 5 for Abnormal results of liver function studies is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
A bilirubin blood test is used to check the health of your liver. The test is also commonly used to help diagnose newborn jaundice. Many healthy babies get jaundice because their livers aren't developed enough to get rid of enough bilirubin. Newborn jaundice is usually not harmful and clears up within a few weeks.
Gilbert syndrome is the most likely cause of the unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the setting of normal liver enzymes and in the absence of medications that reduce hepatic uptake of bilirubin or symptoms suggesting hepatobiliary disease or hemolysis.
These are different enzymes made by the liver. Bilirubin, a waste product made by the liver. Lactate dehydrogenase (LD), an enzyme found in most of the body's cells. LD is released into the blood when cells have been damaged by disease or injury.
What is the correct ICD-10 code for “elevated bilirubin”? The coding index leads to ICD-10 code R17 using the term “elevated”. This code is located in Chapter 18, which is for symptoms, sign, and abnormal results.

In medicine, bilirubinuria is an abnormality where conjugated bilirubin is detected in the urine.

The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code R82.2. Click on any term below to browse the alphabetical index.
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 791.4 was previously used, R82.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
This code was replaced in the 2022 ICD-10 code set with the code (s) listed below. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2021. This code was replaced for the FY 2022 (October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2022).
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code R79.89 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code R79.89 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Your blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
