Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for chronic kidney disease as the evidence did not show a GFR from 45 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination showed GFR no lower than 102, which is consistent with a noncompensable rating under DC 7530.
