Treatment for High CPK Levels
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).
Transaminitis, or hypertransaminasemia, refers to unusually high levels of a family of enzymes called transaminases. Transaminitis is not a disease, but it can point to other issues that require treatment. High levels of fat or similar problems may be causing inflammation in the liver.
R74. 0 - Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] | ICD-10-CM.
R94. 5 - Abnormal results of liver function studies | ICD-10-CM.
What is transaminitis? Your liver breaks down nutrients and filters toxins out of your body, which it does with the help of enzymes. Transaminitis, sometimes called hypertransaminasemia, refers to having high levels of certain liver enzymes called transaminases.
Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) is mainly found in the liver, cardiac muscle, and other tissues while serum alanine transaminase (ALT) is predominantly found in the liver. The ratio of AST to ALT is commonly used to assess liver cell injury [8].
ICD-10-CM Code for Elevation of levels of liver transaminase levels R74. 01.
0 for Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The most common causes of elevated transaminase levels are nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease. Uncommon causes include drug-induced liver injury, hepatitis B and C, and hereditary hemochromatosis. Rare causes include alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, autoimmune hepatitis, and Wilson disease.

The hepatic (liver) function panel consists of Albumin, serum; Bilirubin, total; Bilirubin, direct; alkaline phosphatase; transferase, alanine amino (ALT) (SGPT), transferase, aspartate amino (ALT) (SGOT); and protein, total.
