Toxic effect of rodenticides, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a patient's deliberate self-poisoning with rodenticides. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, but the patient continues to experience health problems directly attributable to the past toxic exposure. These sequelae can range from neurological damage to organ dysfunction.

Apply this code when documenting chronic conditions or persistent symptoms that are a direct consequence of a previous intentional rodenticide overdose. This would be used in follow-up encounters for patients experiencing ongoing health issues, such as kidney failure, liver damage, or neurological deficits, after the initial acute poisoning event has resolved.

• Always sequence this code after the codes for the specific sequelae (e.g., chronic kidney disease, peripheral neuropathy).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional rodenticide poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for the long-term effects.
