Renal transplantation

Renal transplantation means surgical replacement of a kidney with a kidney from another person.

If a veteran or member had undergone renal transplantation, this would be recorded in doctors' notes and/or hospital records. However, if these records have been destroyed or can no longer be obtained and there is a reliable history of renal transplantation at a particular time, this generally will be accepted, unless there is contradictory evidence.

Preliminary questions [33292]

21867 there is some evidence that a renal transplant may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

12229 the veteran has had a renal transplantation at some time.

33294 the veteran underwent renal transplantation for an illness or injury which is identifiable.

33293 the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and VEA service for hypertension.

33295 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had undergone renal transplantation at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

33296   the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and VEA service for the clinical onset of hypertension.

33299  the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and operational service for the clinical onset of hypertension.

or

33301  the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and eligible service for the clinical onset of hypertension.

or

7334     the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335     the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

33298   as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had undergone renal transplantation at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

33297   the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of hypertension.

33302  the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and operational service for the clinical worsening of hypertension.

or

33300  the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplantation and eligible service for the clinical worsening of hypertension.

Clinical onset and operational service [33299]

33303  the identified illness or injury, for which the renal transplantation was undergone, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [33301]

33304  the identified illness or injury, for which the renal transplantation was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [33302]

33303  the identified illness or injury, for which the renal transplantation was undergone, is causally related to operational service.

20068  the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury that required the renal transplant is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [33300]

33304  the identified illness or injury, for which the renal transplantation was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.

20069  the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury that required the renal transplant is causally related.
