The Veteran's residuals, bilateral nephropexy with urinary tract infections and history of kidney stones are currently rated at 30 percent. The rating is maintained as the condition does not meet criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s current disability picture does not warrant an increase in his rating to reflect constant albuminuria, definite decrease in kidney function, or hypertension at least 40 percent disabling under Diagnostic Code 7101.
