Liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O26.619 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, unspecified trimester.
Liver and biliary tract disorders during pregnancy can encompass a range of conditions that may complicate maternal health and fetal development. These disorders include cholestasis of pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis, and other liver dysfunctions that can manifest during any trimester. Symptoms may include jaundice, pruritus, and abdominal pain, which necessitate careful monitoring and management. The impact of liver disorders on pregnancy can lead to increased risks for both the mother and the fetus, including preterm labor, fetal distress, and potential need for early delivery. Management often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including obstetricians, hepatologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists, to ensure optimal outcomes. The unspecified trimester designation indicates that the exact timing of the disorder's onset is not documented, which can complicate treatment decisions and coding accuracy.
Detailed documentation of liver function tests, symptoms, and management plans.
Pregnant patients presenting with jaundice or pruritus requiring evaluation for cholestasis.
Ensure accurate coding of trimester and severity to reflect the complexity of care.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors and multidisciplinary care plans.
Management of pregnancies complicated by severe liver dysfunction requiring close monitoring.
Focus on fetal monitoring and potential interventions based on liver function.
Used for inpatient management of severe liver disorders in pregnancy.
Detailed history, examination, and management plan.
Obstetricians should document the complexity of care provided.
Common liver disorders include intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and hepatitis. Each condition requires specific management and coding considerations.
