J94.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other specified pleural conditions. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Hydrothorax is a type of pleural effusion in which serous fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity.
Hydrothorax is a type of pleural effusion in which serous fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity. This specific condition can be related to cirrhosis with ascites in which ascitic fluid leaks into the pleural cavity. Hepatic hydrothorax is often difficult to manage in end-stage liver failure and often fails to respond to therapy.
Hepatopulmonary syndrome. K76.81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM K76.81 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K76.81 - other international versions of ICD-10 K76.81 may differ.
Hydrothorax is a noninflammatory collection of serous fluid within the pleural cavities. The effusion is clear and straw colored. Hydrothorax is unilateral or bilateral. The most common cause of hydrothorax is cardiac failure, but it is also frequently the result of renal failure and cirrhosis of the liver.
Hepatic failure, unspecified without coma K72. 90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K72. 90 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Hepatic hydrothorax refers to the presence of a pleural effusion (usually >500 mL) in a patient with cirrhosis who does not have other reasons to have a pleural effusion (eg, cardiac, pulmonary, or pleural disease) [1-3]. Hepatic hydrothorax occurs in approximately 5 to 15 percent of patients with cirrhosis.
It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself. Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces; it is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself.

0 (Malignant pleural effusion) is a manifestation code and cannot be sequenced as the principal diagnosis, says Sharon Salinas, CCS, HIM manager, at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles. “The underlying condition is to be sequenced first.
The most common causes of pleural effusion are congestive heart failure, cancer, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism. Pleural fluid puncture (pleural tap) enables the differentiation of a transudate from an exudate, which remains, at present, the foundation of the further diagnostic work-up.
Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself.
A: Usually, pleural effusion is integral to congestive heart failure and isn't coded as a secondary diagnosis. But, if the physician documents that the pleural effusion is clinically significant and required monitoring and further evaluation, then it can be reported as a secondary diagnosis.
A malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is the build up of fluid and cancer cells that collects between the chest wall and the lung. This can cause you to feel short of breath and/or have chest discomfort. It is a fairly common complication in a number of different cancers.
Fibrotic scar tissue may develop, creating pockets of fluid in the pleural cavity, preventing effective drainage of the fluid. This condition is designated as a Loculated Pleural Effusion (LPE) and leads to pain and shortness of breath, as the lungs are not able to properly expand.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K72 became effective on October 1, 2021.

A syndrome characterized by the clinical triad of advanced chronic liver disease, pulmonary vascular dilatations, and reduced arterial oxygenation (hypoxemia) in the absence of intrinsic cardiopulmonary disease. This syndrome is common in the patients with liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension (hypertension, portal).
