Poisn by oth hormones and synthetic sub, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication resulting from an intentional overdose or toxic exposure to a hormone or synthetic substitute, administered with malicious intent. The original poisoning event was an assault, and the patient is now experiencing a residual effect directly attributable to that past event.

Use this code when documenting a chronic condition, disability, or other sequela that has developed due to a past assault involving poisoning by hormones (e.g., thyroid hormones, corticosteroids) or synthetic substitutes. This applies when the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, but lasting effects persist. Examples include endocrine dysfunction, organ damage, or neurological deficits directly linked to the assault.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., specific endocrine disorder, organ damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past poisoning by assault.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
