Poisn by unsp hormones and synthetic sub, self-harm, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a deliberate overdose or misuse of an unspecified hormone or synthetic substitute. It signifies that the acute poisoning event has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing residual health issues directly attributable to that intentional self-harm.

This code is appropriate for documenting chronic conditions, permanent organ damage, or persistent functional impairments that are a direct consequence of a past intentional self-poisoning with an unknown hormone. It should be used when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of poisoning but is being treated for the sequelae.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving an unspecified hormone.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning; reserve it for the long-term effects.
