Poisoning by mineralocorticoids and antag, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication arising from a past intentional poisoning by mineralocorticoids or their antagonists, where the poisoning was inflicted by another person. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, but residual effects persist.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition directly attributable to a previous assault involving mineralocorticoids or their antagonists. This would apply to follow-up visits for ongoing management of organ damage, endocrine dysfunction, or other lasting sequelae from such an event.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code that describes the specific sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, adrenal insufficiency).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past assault and the specific substance involved.
• Verify that the assault nature of the poisoning is explicitly stated in the patient's medical record.
