Wiki elevated LFT

[weina]

How would you code ELEVATED LFT? This is all that is on the script. I know I had a similar question yesterday but it's being debated at the office where I work and we all want to get on the same page. I say 794.8 but it's being debated. Can you help me out here? Thanks

According to the ICD-9 book, an abnormal LFT is 790.6.

If they got the diagnosis from the blood test 790.6 and if they got it by radiology (Scan/sono etc.,) I think 794.8

I am waiting for the feedback

Thank U

This was debated in our office and we settled on 7906, whereas previously we had been using 7905.
