Granulomatous hepatitis, not elsewhere classified

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Liver inflammation characterized by the formation of granulomas (small collections of immune cells), not caused by tuberculosis, fungal infections, or other specified conditions. This pattern suggests a specific immune response in the liver.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm that granulomatous hepatitis is not due to TB, fungal infection, or sarcoidosis, which have separate codes
  • •Document any associated systemic conditions that may explain the granulomatous response

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • acute or subacute hepatitis (K72.0-)
  • chronic hepatitis NEC (K73.-)
  • viral hepatitis (B15-B19)
