Poisoning by oth fibrin-affct drugs, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an intentional overdose or self-poisoning with a medication that impacts the body's ability to break down blood clots (fibrinolysis-affecting drugs). These sequelae can manifest months or even years after the initial acute event, representing persistent health issues directly attributable to the self-harm.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of a past intentional self-poisoning involving fibrinolytic agents. This would include chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or other lasting health problems directly linked to the prior self-harm attempt. It is used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic liver failure, persistent coagulopathy).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving fibrinolysis-affecting drugs.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute poisoning event; instead, use the appropriate acute poisoning code with the "A" (initial encounter) or "D" (subsequent encounter) seventh character.
