I have a patient who is not taking any supplements, but had blood work resulting in a high vitamin K level. Which ICD-9 code should be selected for High Vitamin K? 790.6 - Other abnormal blood chemistry? I can't find a code specific to elevated/abnormal/high vitamin K. Any help is appreciated!

A high vitamin K level does not mean the patient has a diagnosis of hyperpotassemia. Only the provider can diagnose the patient. If the provider documents that the patient has a high lab value the you code abnormal lab, if you only see the lab report, the coder can code nothing as a coder cannot interpret a lab report
