Using a population-based, hospitalization database, we determined that the principal diagnostic codes for acetaminophen overdose (ICD-9-CM, 965.4; ICD-10, T39.
If used in proper therapeutic doses, acetaminophen has an excellent safety profile; however, its major side effect is hepatotoxicity, which can occur after overdose or misuse. This is because acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver.
T40.0: Poisoning by Opium. T40.1: Poisoning by Heroin.T40.2: Poisoning by Other. Opioids.T40.3: Poisoning by. Methadone.T40.4: Poisoning by Other. Synthetic Narcotics.T40.6: Poisoning by Other. and Unspecified Narcotics.
991A: Poisoning by other drugs, medicaments and biological substances, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter.
What are the symptoms of an acetaminophen overdose?Cramping.Fatigue.Loss of appetite.Nausea.Stomach pain.Sweating.Vomiting.
For adults, there's no clear number. Generally speaking, 10,000 to 15,000 milligrams is likely to do serious harm to the liver. That would be about 20 to 30 Extra Strength Tylenol, or 10 to 15 Vicodin plus 10 to 15 Extra Strength Tylenol in a day. More than 20,000 milligrams of acetaminophen can be fatal.
When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug (T36-T50).

All of the harmful effects of acetaminophen have been attributed to the production of its toxic metabolite, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI).
Drugs that increase acetaminophen toxicity (INH, rifampin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, zidovudine)
An acetaminophen level test measures the amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol®) in your blood. Providers do this test if they suspect an overdose of this common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. The results of this blood test help your provider diagnose an overdose and plan and monitor treatments.
When the glutathione is completely used up, the NAPQI begins to react with liver cell proteins, killing the cells. It causes necrosis in the liver cells and kidney tubules. This same principle occurs in mushroom or toadstool poisoning.
T39.1X2A is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of poisoning by 4-aminophenol derivatives, intentional self-harm, initial encounter. The code T39.1X2A is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code T39.1X2A might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acetaminophen and dextropropoxyphene overdose, acetaminophen and dextropropoxyphene poisoning, acetaminophen overdose, dextropropoxyphene overdose, dextropropoxyphene poisoning , intentional acetaminophen and dextropropoxyphene overdose, etc.#N#T39.1X2A is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like poisoning by 4-aminophenol derivatives intentional self-harm. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.
The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that ...
Poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, intentional self-harm, initial encounter 1 T39.1X2A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, self-harm, init 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T39.1X2A became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T39.1X2A - other international versions of ICD-10 T39.1X2A may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Paracetamol toxicity is caused by excessive use or overdose of the analgesic drug paracetamol (called acetaminophen in North America). Mainly causing liver injury, paracetamol toxicity is one of the most common causes of poisoning worldwide. In the United States and the United Kingdom it is the most common cause of acute liver failure.
