Adverse effect of thrombolytic drugs, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual complication arising from a past adverse reaction to a thrombolytic medication. These are conditions that persist after the acute phase of the adverse effect has resolved, indicating a lasting impact on the patient's health.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or permanent condition directly attributable to an adverse effect of a thrombolytic drug that occurred in the past. Examples include persistent bleeding disorders, organ damage, or neurological deficits that are a direct consequence of the initial adverse drug event.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to a previous adverse effect of a thrombolytic agent.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela; do not use for acute adverse effects.
