Confused about service connection

[Joe Cunliffe]

While in service I was diagnosed with abnormal amounts of blood and protein in my urine with high cholesterol. An ultrasound of my kidneys and a scope of my urinary tract system was performed with no abnormalities found at that time. However the blood and protein was found in every physical (including exit physical) that was performed while in service. I now have CKD. My question is can I try to service connect the CKD to my abnormal lab results first discovered while in the Army? Thank you for any help clarifying.

Every morning right before I head out for the day, I take out the glass jar of R.W. Knudsen Just Cranberry juice and shake it, and then pour my self a shot because I have a similar issue. This will also help prevent an UTI in the future.

This is a little off-topic but I really recommend Cranberry juice. I have had issues with kidney stones and drink at least 1 glass a day. I stopped for some dumb reason for a couple years, and you guessed it, I had another attack. The docs have been recommending cranberry juice to ward off kidney stones for many years. Nice to know something that simple, with no chemicals, works. I highly recommend it.
