The Board has denied the claims for secondary service connection for renal artery stenosis and a thyroid condition as due to service-connected hypertension, finding that there is no current evidence of these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing the veteran currently has renal artery stenosis or a thyroid disorder related to his service-connected hypertension.
