Partly granted
Service connection for polycystic kidney disease is denied. Service connection for nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's polycystic kidney disease is not related to service based on medical opinions and the nature of the condition as an inherited disorder.
