Sequelae of hyperalimentation

This code describes long-term health problems or residual conditions that arise as a direct consequence of receiving hyperalimentation, also known as parenteral nutrition. These sequelae are not acute complications but rather chronic or persistent issues that manifest after the initial hyperalimentation treatment has concluded or stabilized.

Use this code when documenting chronic metabolic, organ system, or other persistent disorders directly attributable to a past history of hyperalimentation. Documentation should clearly link the current condition to the prior nutritional support, often indicating a cause-and-effect relationship or a history of hyperalimentation as the underlying etiology.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic liver disease due to hyperalimentation).
• Do not use for acute complications occurring during the hyperalimentation administration; those are coded separately.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "due to hyperalimentation" or "sequela of hyperalimentation" to support code assignment.
