Poisoning by drugs aff uric acid metab, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual condition resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with medications that influence uric acid levels. These drugs might include allopurinol, febuxostat, or probenecid, and the sequela could manifest as chronic kidney disease, liver damage, or other lasting systemic effects. The original poisoning event is no longer acute, but its lasting impact is being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic health problem directly attributable to a past intentional self-harm incident involving drugs affecting uric acid metabolism. This applies to follow-up encounters where the focus is on managing the persistent effects, rather than the acute poisoning itself. Examples include managing chronic renal failure that developed years after such an overdose.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic kidney disease).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm poisoning event.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning or when the intent is accidental or undetermined.
