Poisn by androgens and anabolic congeners, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a deliberate overdose or misuse of androgens or anabolic steroids. It indicates that the initial act of intentional self-harm with these substances has led to ongoing medical issues requiring treatment. The current condition is a direct result of that past poisoning event.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, organ damage, or other lasting sequelae directly attributed to a prior intentional self-poisoning with androgens or anabolic congeners. This applies to follow-up care for conditions like liver damage, cardiovascular issues, or endocrine dysfunction that developed after the acute poisoning episode.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific condition or manifestation being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving androgens/anabolic steroids.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is specifically for residual effects.
