What are the risk factors for RA?
The ICD-10-CM code L40.59 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like psoriasis with arthropathy or psoriatic dactylitis. The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code L40.59 are found in the index:
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most crippling form of the disease that can affect people of all ages. It can cause severe deformities of the joints with associated fatigue of the entire body. People who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis often develop severe forefoot problems such as bunions, hammer toes, claw toes, and others.

Is inflammatory polyarthropathy the same as rheumatoid arthritis? No, these terms don't mean the same thing. Inflammatory polyarthropathy isn't a disease, but a descriptive term meaning pain and inflammation in more than five joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune arthritis.
Polyarthritis is also known as polyarticular arthritis or inflammatory polyarthritis. It is defined as arthritis or joint pain that simultaneously affects five or more joints. 1.

Polyarticular joint pain (i.e., pain in more than four joints) poses a diagnostic challenge because of the extensive differential diagnosis1 (Table 1). Consequently, family physicians need to keep the diagnosis open in evaluating patients who present with pain in multiple joints.
People with polyarthralgia have pain in multiple joints. Symptoms may include pain, tenderness, or tingling in the joints and reduced range of motion. Polyarthralgia is similar to polyarthritis, but it doesn't cause inflammation.
Chronic arthritis is an inflammation of over two weeks. Chronic symptoms can be intermittent or constant. Symmetry and the number of joints involved are important factors. Pauciarticular is two to four involved joints whereas polyarticular is over five involved joints.
Your doctor will ask about your medical history and perform a physical exam. They may also order blood tests and X-rays or an ultrasound of the joints. Your doctor will look for inflamed joints, tenderness, and swelling. They will also look for symmetric or asymmetric patterns of pain.
Symmetric arthritis affects the same joints on both sides of the body, such as knees or wrists. Asymmetric arthritis affects the joints on just one side of the body. There are many other types and characteristics of arthritis, and treatment may vary slightly depending on the type of arthritis a person has.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M25.511 and a single ICD9 code, 719.41 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
