Liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, second trimester
ICD-10 O26.612 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, second trimester.
Liver and biliary tract disorders during pregnancy can significantly impact maternal and fetal health. In the second trimester, these conditions may include cholestasis of pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis, and other liver dysfunctions. Symptoms may manifest as pruritus, jaundice, and abdominal pain. These disorders can lead to complications such as preterm labor, fetal distress, and increased risk of cesarean delivery. Management often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including obstetricians, hepatologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Close monitoring of liver function tests and fetal well-being is essential. Treatment may involve medication to alleviate symptoms and careful planning for delivery to minimize risks to both mother and child. Understanding the nuances of these conditions is crucial for accurate coding and ensuring appropriate care.
Detailed records of liver function tests, symptoms, and treatment plans are essential for accurate coding.
Management of cholestasis of pregnancy, monitoring for jaundice, and planning for delivery in cases of severe liver dysfunction.
Consideration of the impact of liver disorders on fetal health and the need for potential early delivery.
Comprehensive documentation of maternal health, fetal monitoring, and any interventions performed.
High-risk pregnancies with liver dysfunction requiring specialized monitoring and intervention.
Coordination with hepatology for complex cases and understanding the implications of liver disorders on pregnancy outcomes.
Used for follow-up visits for monitoring liver function in pregnant patients.
Document liver function tests, symptoms, and treatment plans.
Obstetricians should ensure comprehensive documentation to support the visit level.
Common liver disorders during pregnancy include cholestasis of pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis, and gestational liver disease. Each condition requires careful monitoring and management to ensure the health of both mother and fetus.
