An increased AST level is often a sign of liver disease. Liver disease is even more likely when the levels of substances checked by other liver blood tests have also increased. An increased AST level may be due to any of the following: Scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) Death of liver tissue.

Elevated liver enzymes are a sign that a person has an inflamed or damaged liver. Many conditions may cause liver inflammation or damage. Doctors use a blood test to check for elevated liver enzymes. They may test anyone with symptoms of one of the conditions that they know to raise liver enzyme levels.

The patient was diagnosed with acute liver injury as well as acute hepatitis, nonviral. Code S36.119, Unspecified injury of liver, does not seem to apply since there was no documentation of a traumatic injury to the liver.
For this example, assign code K72.00, Acute and subacute hepatic failure without coma, for non-viral acute hepatitis.
Most welcome..let us know what you think? We have some cases here with fulminant liver failure due to medications and/or mushrooms. Notable that those with this form of acute failure due to mushrooms very often die here very quickly. Staff will sometimes use the term ‘injury’ and this can lead to classification issues.
Brief response. I believe you should research references for ‘acute liver failure’ caused by drugs. If the record has clinical support, I’d consider a query to that effect.
It is also surprising that using even just a bit more OTC pain-relievers may also cause Fulminant Acute Liver Failure. When the acute liver failure is present, the term ‘acute injury’ may cause confusing and result in misclassification. Hence, this discussion about “injury’ versus ‘fulminant, acute failure’.
