Toxic effect of glycols, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with glycols. These sequelae can manifest as chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or other lasting health issues directly attributable to the past toxic exposure.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a previous, intentional self-harm attempt involving glycols. This is typically used in follow-up encounters after the acute poisoning event has resolved, but its lasting impact is still being managed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code describing the specific residual condition (e.g., chronic kidney disease).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional glycol poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; those require codes from the acute phase of poisoning.
