Poisoning by mineralocorticoids and their antag, undet, subs

This code signifies an adverse event resulting from exposure to mineralocorticoids or their antagonists, where the intent of the exposure (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. The patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment of sequelae after the initial acute phase of the poisoning.

Apply this code when a patient is seen for ongoing management of complications or effects from an undetermined poisoning by mineralocorticoids or their antagonists. This includes situations where the initial presentation of the poisoning has passed, but the patient requires further medical attention related to the event. Examples include monitoring electrolyte imbalances, managing kidney dysfunction, or addressing cardiovascular effects in a subsequent visit.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the poisoning's effects or complications.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports an "undetermined" intent for the poisoning.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
