Liver and biliary tract disord in preg, second trimester

This code signifies the presence of a liver or biliary tract disorder that arises or is exacerbated during the second trimester of pregnancy. These conditions can range from cholestasis of pregnancy to gallstones or hepatitis, impacting maternal and fetal health.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of a liver or biliary tract disorder occurring specifically during the second trimester of pregnancy. This includes conditions like intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, cholelithiasis, or acute hepatitis identified between weeks 14 and 27+6 days of gestation.

• Always confirm the trimester of pregnancy documented by the provider.
• Code the specific liver or biliary tract disorder first, if known, followed by this code.
• Do not use this code for pre-existing liver conditions not exacerbated by pregnancy or conditions arising in other trimesters.
