Metabolic disorder fol failed attempt term of pregnancy

This code describes a metabolic complication arising after an unsuccessful attempt to terminate a pregnancy. This includes conditions such as electrolyte imbalances, hypoglycemia, or other metabolic derangements directly attributable to the failed procedure.

Use this code when a patient presents with a metabolic disorder that is a direct consequence of an attempted termination of pregnancy that did not result in the complete removal of the fetus or products of conception. Documentation should clearly link the metabolic issue to the failed procedure, often including details of the initial attempt and subsequent clinical findings.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code for the failed attempted termination of pregnancy (e.g., O07.0-O07.2).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states a metabolic disorder and its causal relationship to the failed procedure.
• Do not use this code for metabolic conditions unrelated to the failed termination attempt or for complications that are not metabolic in nature.
