The ICD code M10 is used to code Simple Gout

gout (also known as podagra when it involves the big toe) is a medical condition which has recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis - a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. the base of the big toe is the most commonly affected (approximately 50% of cases). however, it may also present as tophi (hard lumps in the skin), kidney stones, or kidney failure. it is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. the uric acid crystallizes, and the crystals build up in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues.
