Poisoning by oth hormone antagonists, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or late effect resulting from a patient's deliberate self-poisoning with a hormone antagonist medication other than those specifically classified elsewhere. It indicates that the initial acute event has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual health problems directly attributable to the self-inflicted overdose.

Assign this code when documenting conditions or symptoms that are a direct result of a past intentional self-harm event involving an unclassified hormone antagonist. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic kidney disease, neurological damage, or other persistent issues stemming from the original poisoning. Do not use for the initial acute poisoning episode.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic renal failure).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm poisoning by a hormone antagonist.
• Verify that the hormone antagonist involved is not more specifically classified elsewhere (e.g., antiandrogens, antithyroid agents).
