Osteoporosis - Exposure to cadmium Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 08 January 2007.
Preliminary questions [36626]
36627 there is some evidence that exposure to cadmium may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
36628 the veteran has been exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage at some time.
36629 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for osteoporosis.
the veteran was exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.36630 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
36632 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and operational service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
or
36633 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and eligible service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
or
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service. the condition under consideration permanently worsened. the veteran was exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.36631 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
36634 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and operational service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
or
36635 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and eligible service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
Clinical onset and operational service [36632]
operational service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to cadmium on operational service before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [36633]
eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to cadmium on eligible service before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and operational service [36634]
operational service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to cadmium on operational service before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and eligible service [36635]
eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to cadmium on eligible service before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
