Poisoning by mineralocorticoids and antag, assault, init

This code signifies an intentional act of harm involving the administration of mineralocorticoids or their antagonists to another person, resulting in an adverse effect. The patient is experiencing the initial manifestation of this poisoning.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presenting with symptoms of mineralocorticoid or antagonist poisoning due to an assault. This would include cases where the substance was forcibly administered or given without the patient's knowledge or consent with malicious intent.

• Always sequence this code first when it is the primary reason for the encounter.
• Requires an external cause code (e.g., Y07.9) to fully describe the circumstances of the assault.
• Ensure documentation specifies "assault" and "initial encounter" to support this specific code.
