Malignant neoplasm of the bladder - 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.
