Poisoning by aspirin, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with aspirin. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual effects directly attributable to a past intentional overdose of aspirin. These sequelae can manifest in various organ systems, such as renal, hepatic, or neurological damage.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct result of a previous intentional aspirin overdose. Examples include chronic kidney disease secondary to aspirin-induced nephropathy from a past self-harm attempt, or persistent tinnitus following a prior toxic aspirin ingestion. It should be used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional aspirin poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning or initial encounters for the self-harm event itself.
