About coding hepatorenal syndrome

The ICD-10-CM code for hepatorenal syndrome is K76.7 (Hepatorenal syndrome). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on K76.7.

Within K76 (other diseases of liver), K76.7 is specifically for hepatorenal syndrome. Related codes cover fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified (K76.0), chronic passive congestion of liver (K76.1), central hemorrhagic necrosis of liver (K76.2), infarction of liver (K76.3), Peliosis hepatis (K76.4), hepatic veno-occlusive disease (K76.5), portal hypertension (K76.6), other specified diseases of liver (K76.8) and 1 more.

Don't report K76.7 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: hepatorenal syndrome following labor and delivery (O90.41) and postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome (K91.83).

As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
