Ascites (/əˈsaɪtiːz/ ə-SY-teez, from Greek askites, "baglike") is a gastroenterological term for an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The medical condition is also known as peritoneal cavity fluid, peritoneal fluid excess, hydroperitoneum or more archaically as abdominal dropsy. Although most commonly due to cirrhosis, severe liver disease or metastatic cancer, its presence can be a sign of other significant medical problems, such as Budd–Chiari syndrome. Diagnosis of the cause is usually with blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the abdomen, and direct removal of the fluid by needle or paracentesis (which may also be therapeutic). Treatment may be with medication (diuretics), paracentesis, or other treatments directed at the cause.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. R18.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other ascites. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Alcoholic hepatitis (571.1) is liver inflammation due to alcohol. The liver also appears enlarged, firm, and yellowish, and the damage may be reversible with alcohol cessation. With more severe cases of alcoholic hepatitis, liver cells may die. This is the middle step between fatty liver and alcoholic cirrhosis.
If there are complications such as malnutrition, gastrointestinal bleeding, or portal hypertension, these conditions will also have to be managed. If cirrhosis develops, then a liver transplant may be necessary.
To diagnose alcoholic liver disease, the physician may order liver function tests and blood tests. The physician will look for elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate transaminase (AST) to prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) to substantiate the diagnosis. In addition, the physician may order a liver biopsy for definitive diagnosis and also review ultrasound and CT scans to rule out other diseases.
The liver will appear enlarged, firm, and yellowish as the organ’s cells become swollen with fat from the body’s fat cells and the person’s daily diet. Alcoholic fatty liver can be reversed if a person stops drinking. Alcoholic hepatitis (571.1) is liver inflammation due to alcohol.
The immediate goal is discontinuation of alcohol use, and the treatment objective is to provide a high-carbohydrate, high-calorie diet to reduce protein breakdown in the body.
It is a common, often “silent” liver disease. The major features are fatty deposits in the liver, inflammation, and damage. Most people with NAFLD are unaware that they have a liver problem. The prevalence of NAFLD and NASH are increasing and are presumably more likely to occur in people who are obese or have diabetes.
With continued scarring, the liver shrinks, becomes firm, and can no longer function. Cirrhosis is permanent, even if a person stops drinking. Alcoholic liver disease (571.3) is a nonspecific term, so it is necessary to have the physician clarify the stage of disease. There are often no symptoms of alcoholic fatty liver disease until ...
