Nephrolithiasis

Rate this question


*Bergie*

Question

Can someone verify what I read about Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones. According to DC-7508 it is to be rated under hydronephrosis "unless one or more of the following."

1. Diet therapy

2. Drug therapy

3. invasive or non-invasive procedures more than two times/year.

So as I read it if you use one of the 3 listed you are to receive 30% under nephrolithiasis, am I reading it right.

Thanks,

Bergie

I found this rating information:

"Under Diagnostic Code 7508, nephrolithiasis is rated as

hydronephrosis except when there are recurring stone

formations that require one or more of the following: diet

therapy, drug therapy, and/or invasive or non-invasive

procedures more that 2 times a year; then a 30 percent

evaluation will be assigned." 38 C.F.R. § 4.115b, Diagnostic

Code 7508.

"Diagnostic Code 7509 provides that hydronephrosis is rated as

10 percent disabling when there is only an occasional attack

of colic, not infected and not requiring catheter drainage."

38 C.F.R. § 4.115b, Diagnostic Code 7509 (2009).
