6C0Z Elimination disorder, unspecified

427 Elimination disorders Boundaries with other disorders and conditions (differential diagnosis) Boundary with the effects of substances including medications Faecal incontinence may occur due to certain medications including some antibiotics, some cancer medications, laxatives and antacids that contain magnesium. In these cases, a diagnosis of encopresis is typically not warranted. If the encopresis was present before administration of medication, it may be appropriate to assign a diagnosis. Boundary with other medical conditions Encopresis should not be diagnosed if the symptoms are better accounted for by another medical condition that causes faecal incontinence. A diagnosis of encopresis may be warranted if the faecal incontinence was present before the other medical condition developed, or persists after the individual has received adequate treatment.
