Gout due to renal impairment, right hip

This code signifies a form of gout specifically caused by impaired kidney function, affecting the right hip joint. It indicates the presence of urate crystal deposition in the joint, leading to inflammation and pain, with the underlying etiology being renal dysfunction.

Use this code when documentation clearly states gout in the right hip and explicitly links its cause to renal impairment. This typically applies to patients with chronic kidney disease or other conditions leading to decreased uric acid excretion, who subsequently develop gouty arthritis in the specified joint.

• Requires documentation of both gout and a causal link to renal impairment.
• Laterality (right hip) is crucial; ensure documentation specifies the affected joint.
• Do not use for idiopathic gout or gout due to other secondary causes.
