Poisoning by loop diuretics, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional overdose of loop diuretics, such as furosemide or bumetanide. These sequelae are chronic conditions directly attributable to the initial self-harm event involving these specific medications.

Apply this code when documenting residual health problems that persist after a patient has recovered from an acute poisoning by loop diuretics, where the poisoning was a deliberate act of self-harm. Examples include chronic electrolyte imbalances, kidney damage, or other lasting organ dysfunction directly linked to the overdose.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional loop diuretic poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for the lasting effects.
