Adverse effect of mineralocorticoids and antag, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or residual condition resulting from a past adverse reaction to mineralocorticoids or their antagonists. These are persistent health problems that remain after the acute phase of the adverse effect has resolved. Examples include chronic electrolyte imbalances or organ damage.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current health status that is directly attributable to a previous adverse effect of mineralocorticoid medications or their antagonists. This applies when the original adverse event is no longer active, but its lasting consequences are still present and require ongoing management.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic hypokalemia).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past adverse effect of the specified drug class.
• Do not use for acute adverse effects; those would be coded with the appropriate acute adverse effect code and a 7th character of A or D.
