Poisoning by unsp hormone antagonists, assault, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an intentional poisoning by an unknown type of hormone antagonist. The original poisoning was an act of assault, and the patient is now experiencing a residual effect of that event.

Assign this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic organ damage, persistent neurological deficits, endocrine dysfunction) directly attributable to a past assault involving an unspecified hormone antagonist. This code is appropriate when the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, and the patient is being treated for the lasting effects.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past assault by an unspecified hormone antagonist.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
