Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism, DVT, and a heart disability as secondary to residuals of acute renal failure. The claim for an initial compensable rating for acute hepatocellular necrosis was denied.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence supported the conclusion that the Veteran's hypothyroidism, DVT, and heart disability were at least as likely as not due to his service-connected residuals of acute renal failure. The evidence did not support a compensable rating for acute hepatocellular necrosis.
