The following are some of the most common causes of biliary obstruction:
The most common etiology of biliary obstruction is choledocholithiasis or gallstones, causing extrahepatic bile duct blockage. The most serious manifestation of this is the development of infection in the bile ducts called cholangitis, which can be fatal if not treated promptly.
Symptoms of a blocked bile duct include:
Other specified diseases of biliary tract The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K83. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K83.
Biliary obstruction. Bile duct obstruction is a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. The biliary system is comprised of the organs and duct system that create, transport, store and release bile into the duodenum for digestion.

Biliary and Pancreatic Ducts The small tubes that carry bile between the liver, gallbladder and small intestine are called biliary or bile ducts. The pancreatic duct connects the pancreas to the common bile duct.
The blockage is most commonly caused by gallstones or sludge impacting the bile ducts. Autoimmune disease such as primary sclerosing cholangitis may affect the system. Other, less common causes of cholangitis include: A tumor.
Who is at risk? People with a history of gallstones or gallbladder disease are at risk for bile duct stones. Even people who have had their gallbladders removed can experience this condition.

When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing level of bilirubin in the blood.
A tube that carries bile from the gall bladder. It joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. It is part of the biliary duct system.
This combined duct is called the common bile duct. The common bile duct passes through part of the pancreas before it joins with the pancreatic duct and empties into the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum) at the ampulla of Vater.
Cholestasis is a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum. The two basic distinctions are an obstructive type of cholestasis where there is a mechanical blockage in the duct system that can occur from a gallstone or malignancy, and metabolic types of cholestasis which are disturbances in bile formation ...
Type-1 Excludes. Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here.". Congenital obstruction of bile duct - instead, use code Q44.3. Obstruction of bile duct with cholelithiasis - instead, use code K80.-.
K83.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of obstruction of bile duct. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
