What Happens if Alkaline Phosphatase is High?
What Causes Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase?
If alkaline phosphatase is high, it can be a sign of liver disease, according to the NLM. Other symptoms of that can signal high ALP from liver disease include: Very high ALP can signal problems like liver disease, whereas mildly elevated levels may not be cause for concern, per the Cleveland Clinic.
High alkaline phosphatase symptoms include fatigue and weakness, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, fever, itching, yellow skin, dark urine, abdominal pain, and many more. In most cases, high levels of alkaline phosphatase are usually temporary and don’t pose a serious concern. However, to be safe, it’s important to talk to the doctor to ...
ICD-10-CM Code for Abnormal levels of other serum enzymes R74. 8.
R74. 8 - Abnormal levels of other serum enzymes | ICD-10-CM.
A: The ICD-10-CM index lists code R79. 89 (Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry) as the default for abnormal liver function tests (LFTs).
Abnormal levels of other serum enzymes The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R74. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R74.
High alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels may indicate that there's damage to your liver or that you have a type of bone disorder. Liver damage creates a different type of ALP than bone disorders do.
ALP is an enzyme found throughout the body, but it is mostly found in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. When the liver is damaged, ALP may leak into the bloodstream. High levels of ALP can indicate liver disease or bone disorders.
ICD-10-CM Code for Elevation of levels of liver transaminase levels R74. 01.
821. Revised descriptor for ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z77. 29.
Code R74. 0 Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH], has been expanded to separately report elevation of levels of liver transminase (R74.
R74. 0 - Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code: R94. 5 Abnormal results of liver function studies.
Lactic acidosis shares the ICD-10-CM code, E87. 2, Acidosis, with other causes of acidosis, respiratory or metabolic. Mixed acid-base disorders are coded at E87.
Elevated liver enzymes often indicate inflammation or damage to cells in the liver. Inflamed or injured liver cells leak higher than normal amounts of certain chemicals, including liver enzymes, into the bloodstream, elevating liver enzymes on blood tests.
What does it mean to have elevated liver enzymes? If you have high levels of liver enzymes in your blood, you have elevated liver enzymes. High liver enzyme levels may be temporary, or they may be a sign of a medical condition like hepatitis or liver disease. Certain medications can also cause elevated liver enzymes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B96. 81.
Serum enzymes and markers. Serum enzymes and markers are used to assist in the diagnosis of disease such as cancer or medical events like myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or liver dysfunction. Serum enzymes can also show muscle tissue breakdown in the event of trauma or rhabdomyolysis.
Elevated alkaline phosphatase describes the situation where the levels of alkaline phosphatase exceed the reference range. It can be associated with certain medical conditions or syndromes (e.g., hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome, HPMRS)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R74.8 and a single ICD9 code, 790.5 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

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 R74.8 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 R74.8 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.
