Preventing cirrhosis of your liver, or liver scarring, is often accomplished by corrective action as soon as symptoms appear. Because your liver is crucial in digestion and the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, a poor diet high in fat and carbs is extremely damaging to your liver.
Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the final stages of liver disease. It is a serious condition, causing scarring and permanent damage to the liver. Life expectancy depends on the stage and type. The liver is the second largest organ in the human body and one of the most important for human health.
ICD-10 code K74. 60 for Unspecified cirrhosis of liver is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Cirrhosis is scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by long-term liver damage. The scar tissue prevents the liver working properly. Cirrhosis is sometimes called end-stage liver disease because it happens after other stages of damage from conditions that affect the liver, such as hepatitis.
A disorder characterized by replacement of the liver parenchyma with fibrous tissue and regenerative nodules. It is usually caused by alcoholisms, hepatitis b, and hepatitis c. Complications include the development of ascites, esophageal varices, bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy.

ICD-10 Code for Liver disease, unspecified- K76. 9- Codify by AAPC.
There are two stages in cirrhosis: compensated and decompensated. Compensated cirrhosis: People with compensated cirrhosis do not show symptoms, while life expectancy is around 9–12 years.
Decompensated cirrhosis is the stage that comes after compensated cirrhosis. At this point, your liver has too much scarring and you develop complications. Your doctor will know you have decompensated cirrhosis if you show signs of one or more of these conditions: Jaundice.
Decompensated alcohol related liver disease (ARLD) occurs when there is a deterioration in liver function in a patient with cirrhosis, which presents with jaundice, coagulopathy, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. The short term mortality rate from decompensated ARLD is high (10-20% at one month)
