How would you code "Elevated LFT's"??
Opinions please...:rolleyes:
 
790.5: Other nonspecific abnormal serum enzyme levels

Abnormal serum level of:

acid phosphatase

alkaline phosphatase

amylase

lipase

This would be the correct code as this is from blood work not an xray/scan.
 
acid phosphatase , alkaline phosphatase, amylase and lipase are the liver enzymes that are checked when a "liver function test or LFT's " are ordered and is reported with ICD 790.5 however, 790.6 is used to report abnormal blood chemistry (i.e. levels of cobalt, copper, iron, led, etc).
