Poisn by mineralocorticoids and antag, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication arising from a past intentional self-harm event involving an overdose or misuse of mineralocorticoids or their antagonists. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, but residual effects persist.

This code is appropriate when documenting chronic conditions, organ damage, or other lasting sequelae directly attributable to a previous self-inflicted poisoning by mineralocorticoids. It should be used in follow-up encounters for patients experiencing ongoing health issues from such an event.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, adrenal insufficiency).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm poisoning.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute poisoning event; instead, use the appropriate acute poisoning code with the 7th character for initial encounter.
