Poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, undet, init

This code signifies an accidental or intentional poisoning specifically due to androgens or other anabolic agents, where the intent (e.g., accidental, self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It indicates the initial phase of treatment for such an event, requiring medical intervention.

Use this code for patients presenting with adverse effects from androgen or anabolic steroid exposure when the circumstances surrounding the exposure are unclear. This applies to the initial hospital visit or encounter where the poisoning is first diagnosed and managed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "undetermined" intent for the poisoning.
• Always use an additional code to specify the specific androgen or anabolic agent involved, if known (from T38.7-).
• Append a seventh character for subsequent encounters (D) or sequela (S) as appropriate for follow-up care.
