Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle tissue that leads to the release of muscle fiber contents into the blood. These substances are harmful to the kidney and often cause kidney damage.

If the doctor documented that the patient clearly would not have been admitted for the overdose and clearly was only being admitted for the Rhabdomyolysis/AKI, then you would have additional support for placing Rhabdomyolysis or AKI as the principal diagnosis.
Nontraumatic, exertional rhabdomyolysis can occur in extreme exertion or normal physical exertion in addition to risk factors that impair muscle oxygenation, ultimately leading to muscle cell death. One of these risk factors includes individuals with the sickle cell trait (SCT).

M62.82 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. The code M62.82 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
RHABDOMYOLYSIS-. necrosis or disintegration of skeletal muscle often followed by myoglobinuria.
Muscle weakness or myasthenia (my- from Greek μυο meaning "muscle" + -asthenia ἀσθένεια meaning "weakness") is a lack of muscle strength. The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 728.88 was previously used, M62.82 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.

Effective October 1, 2003, new codes have been created to separately identify rhabdomyolysis. Prior to this change, rhabdomyolysis was coded to 728.89, Other disorders of muscle, ligament and fascia, Other. Due to the severity of this condition, the Coding Clinic Editorial Advisory Board requested that a unique code be created for rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis may result from a large variety of diseases, trauma, or toxic insults to skeletal muscle. It may result in the potentially life-threatening complication of myoglobinuric acute renal failure. Associated problems can also occur including cardiac arrest, hyperkalemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and compartment syndrome. Rhabdomyolysis results...
Rhabdomyolysis may result from a large variety of diseases, trauma, or toxic insults to skeletal muscle. It may result in the potentially life-threatening complication of myoglobinuric acute renal failure. Associated problems can also occur including cardiac arrest, hyperkalemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and compartment syndrome. Rhabdomyolysis results from muscle necrosis and release of creatine phosphokinase (CK) and myoglobin into the circulation.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T79.6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. 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 the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code (s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
My rationale is that ICD-10 conventions themselves supersede even the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) guidelines in the hierarchy of coding. The UHDDS definitions are the standards for interpreting the guidelines, but I do not believe they can directly contradict an instructional note in the ICD-10 system itself which includes those “code first” type of instructions.
If the doctor documented that the patient clearly would not have been admitted for the overdose and clearly was only being admitted for the Rhabdomyolysis/AKI, then you would have additional support for placing Rhabdomyolysis or AKI as the principal diagnosis. However, the way the physician listed the diagnoses in his or her discharge summary, I don’t think you are on solid grounds for making that suggestion.
