M10.4Other secondary gout

M10.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other secondary gout. It belongs to category M10 (gout), block M05-M14 (inflammatory polyarthropathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M10, choose M10.4 (Other secondary gout) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: idiopathic gout (M10.0), Lead-induced gout (M10.1), drug-induced gout (M10.2), due to renal impairment (M10.3) and unspecified (M10.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M10.40 (unspecified site), M10.41 (shoulder), M10.42 (elbow), M10.43 (wrist), M10.44 (hand), M10.45 (hip), M10.46 (knee), M10.47 (ankle and foot) and 2 more.

Code first: associated condition.

Use an additional code to identify: Autonomic neuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere (G99.0), Calculus of urinary tract in diseases classified elsewhere (N22), Cardiomyopathy in diseases classified elsewhere (I43), Disorders of external ear in diseases classified elsewhere (H61.1-, H62.8-), Disorders of iris and ciliary body in diseases classified elsewhere (H22) and 1 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
