K76.0
BillableFatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Abnormal accumulation of fat in liver cells without inflammation or significant damage. This is often a benign finding but may indicate metabolic issues that need monitoring.
Coding Tips
- •Distinguish from K75.81 (NASH) which includes inflammation; this code is for simple steatosis only
- •Document associated conditions like obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome when present
Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together
- nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (K75.81)
