T45.8X2A
ICD-10-CMPoisoning by other primarily systemic and hematological agents, intentional self-harm, initial encounter
This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects from intentionally self-administering a substance that primarily affects multiple body systems or blood components. This includes a wide range of agents beyond common drugs, leading to systemic toxicity or hematological dysfunction. The "initial encounter" indicates the patient is actively receiving treatment for the acute poisoning.
Apply this code when documenting cases of deliberate self-poisoning involving substances like certain industrial chemicals, heavy metals, or other systemic toxins not classified elsewhere. This is appropriate for the initial hospitalization or emergency department visit where the patient is being evaluated and managed for the acute effects of the poisoning.
