Disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas (K80-K87)

ICD-10 codes K80-K87 pertain to disorders affecting the gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas. These codes classify various conditions such as gallstones, cholecystitis, biliary obstructions, cholangitis, and pancreatitis, including both acute and chronic forms, with further detail on complications like infections, obstructions, and necrosis.

This range starts with K80 which covers cholelithiasis, commonly known as gallstones, including variants based on presence of inflammation or obstruction. For example, codes like K80.00 describe gallbladder stones with acute cholecystitis without obstruction, while K80.01 includes obstruction cases. The chapter further details cholecystitis (codes K81-K81.9), highlighting acute, chronic, or unspecified inflammation of the gallbladder. Other diseases such as gallbladder obstruction (K82.0), perforation (K82.2), and fistulas (K82.3) are included. Additionally, disorders of the biliary tract like cholangitis (K83.0) and bile duct obstructions (K83.1) are specified, with distinctions for primary sclerosing cholangitis and other forms. The pancreas-related conditions span acute pancreatitis (K85), including idiopathic, biliary, alcohol-induced, and drug-induced types, and chronic pancreatitis (K86), with attention to associated complications such as pseudocysts and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (K86.81). Together, these codes support precise documentation of complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, facilitating accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical coding for conditions commonly referred to as gallbladder stones, biliary colic, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and biliary obstruction.
