Other secondary gout, right hip

This code signifies gout that has developed as a consequence of another underlying medical condition or medication, specifically affecting the right hip joint. It indicates the presence of urate crystal deposition and inflammation in the hip, secondary to a primary cause.

Use this code when documentation clearly states "secondary gout" affecting the right hip. This is appropriate for patients whose gout is attributed to conditions like chronic kidney disease, certain diuretic use, or myeloproliferative disorders, with symptoms localized to the right hip.

• Ensure documentation specifies "secondary gout" and laterality (right hip). If the cause is unknown, use an unspecified gout code.
• Always code the underlying primary condition causing the secondary gout first, followed by this code.
• Distinguish from primary gout (M10.0-) and gout due to renal impairment (M1A.0-).
