A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. The ICD code R740 is used to code Elevated transaminases In medicine, the presence of elevated transaminases, commonly the transaminases alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), may be an indicator of liver damage.

According to the medical literature, the term “ Transaminitis ” can be defined as condition in which certain enzymes increase abnormally in the liver. One of the most important enzymes working in the liver is called Transaminases. Elevated level of transaminases is a big cause...
Anti-Viral therapy: In case transaminitis occur due to viral infection then ant-viral therapy is mainstay to treat liver inflammation. Virus damages the internal structures of hepatocytes due to which lobes of liver does work properly. Anti-viral therapy should start as soon as possible in case of viral hepatitis...

R740 - ICD 10 Diagnosis Code - Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] - Market Size, Prevalence, Incidence, Quality Outcomes, Top Hospitals & Physicians.
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, sometimes called hypertransaminasemia, refers to having high levels of certain liver enzymes called transaminases. When you have too many enzymes in your liver, they start to move into your blood stream.

R74.0ICD-10-CM Code for Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] R74. 0.
Hyperlactatemia is the way providers describe elevated lactate short of lactic acidosis. There is no indexing for hyperlactatemia. The ICD-10-CM indexing will take “excessive lacticemia” to E87. 2.
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.
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.
ALT stands for alanine transaminase, which is another type of liver enzyme. If you have high levels of AST and/or ALT, it may mean that you have some type of liver damage. You may also have an AST test as part of a group of liver function tests that measure ALT, and other enzymes, proteins, and substances in the liver.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R74.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
R74.0 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
Some other factors that are important in the pathogenesis of transaminiti are chronic viral hepatitis, bacterial infection like brucelosis, drug induced elevation of AST and ALT, steatohepatitis, wilson disease, celiac disease, excessive consumption of alcohol, fatty liver, ischemic process and hyperthyroidism.
Some commonly observed symptoms of transaminitis on later stages are. Feeling of Nausea. Vomiting.
Anti-Viral therapy: In case transaminitis occur due to viral infection then ant-viral therapy is mainstay to treat liver inflammation. Virus damages the internal structures of hepatocytes due to which lobes of liver does work properly. Anti-viral therapy should start as soon as possible in case of viral hepatitis to decrease liver damage.
According to the medical literature, the term “ Transaminitis ” can be defined as condition in which certain enzymes increase abnormally in the liver. One of the most important enzymes working in the liver is called Transaminases. Elevated level of transaminases is a big cause of this disorder.
R74.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH]. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
In medicine, the presence of elevated transaminases, commonly the transaminases alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), may be an indicator of liver damage. Other terms employed include transaminasemia and transaminitis, although some sources consider the latter pathologically meaningless. ...
