Liver transplant status

This code indicates that a patient has previously undergone a liver transplantation procedure and is currently living with the transplanted organ. It signifies a historical surgical intervention that has altered the patient's physiological status regarding their liver function.

Use this code for any encounter where a patient's history of a liver transplant is relevant to their current care, such as for medication management, monitoring for rejection, or evaluating post-transplant complications. It should be reported as a secondary diagnosis to provide context for other conditions or treatments.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, never as a primary diagnosis.
• Do not use this code for patients who are awaiting a liver transplant or are being evaluated for one.
• Consider additional codes for any complications related to the transplant, such as graft rejection (T86.4-) or long-term immunosuppressant use (Z79.899).
