Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional overdose of propionic acid derivatives, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. These sequelae are chronic conditions or permanent injuries directly attributable to the past self-poisoning event.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with residual health problems that are a direct consequence of a prior, deliberate self-harm attempt involving propionic acid derivatives. This is used for conditions like chronic kidney damage, persistent gastrointestinal issues, or other lasting organ dysfunction stemming from the original poisoning.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional poisoning event.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for the late effects.
