Achilles tendinopathy and bursitis - A renal transplant Factor

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 [20027]

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.

20052  the renal transplant was for an illness or injury which is identifiable. [Default true]

20053  the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplant and operational service for Achilles tendinopathy or bursitis.

20062 for the identified illness or injury, the veteran had a renal transplant within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

20058   the veteran has established the causal connection between the renal transplant and operational service for the clinical onset of Achilles tendinopathy or bursitis.

25040  the identified illness or injury which required the renal transplant is causally related to operational service.
