Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication arising from an intentional overdose or exposure to propionic acid derivatives, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, inflicted by another person. It indicates that the initial poisoning event, which was an assault, has led to persistent medical issues requiring ongoing care.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic organ damage (e.g., kidney failure, liver damage), neurological deficits, or other lasting sequelae directly attributable to a past assault involving propionic acid derivatives. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the residual effects of the poisoning are being managed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., K71.1 for toxic liver disease).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past poisoning by propionic acid derivatives that was an assault.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
