T45.3: Poisoning: Enzymes, not elsewhere classified

You have enzyme poisoning.

In the body, certain proteins ensure that processes run better or more quickly. These proteins are also known as enzymes. Certain enzymes can be administered as medication. This may be necessary, for example, if illness prevents the body from producing an enzyme itself. Food supplements may also contain enzymes.

A substance can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The substance may also be administered or taken by mistake. Enzyme poisoning can cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, for example.

  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
