Dialysis-related amyloidosis

Rotator Cuff Syndrome - Dialysis-related amyloidosis Factor

The RMA defines this term to mean 'beta₂-microglobulin amyloidosis secondary to long-term haemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis'.

Seek medical advice to confirm that the amyloidosis is due to one of these specific forms of dialysis.

Clinical onset and operational service [14937]

36860  the veteran's dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [14938]

36861  the veteran's dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [14939]

36860  the veteran's dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related to operational service.

14963 the clinical onset of rotator cuff syndrome of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [14940]

36861  the veteran's dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related to eligible service.

14964 the clinical onset of rotator cuff syndrome of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the dialysis-related amyloidosis is causally related.
