Tuberculous Adenitis (VA Diagnostic Code 7710)
Understanding This Condition and How the VA Rates It
Tuberculous adenitis is a condition affecting the Hemic and Lymphatic Systems, rated by the VA under Diagnostic Code 7710 in accordance with § 4.117 of the VA rating schedule. This condition may be rated whether it is active or inactive.
What Are the Available Rating Levels?
Diagnostic Code 7710 does not carry its own fixed schedule of percentage levels. Instead, the VA directs that this condition be rated under § 4.88c or § 4.89 of this part, whichever is appropriate.
Because the applicable rating percentages are determined by those referenced sections, the specific rating level assigned depends on which of those provisions applies to your circumstances.
What the VA Looks For
When evaluating tuberculous adenitis under Diagnostic Code 7710, the VA:
- Classifies the condition under the Hemic and Lymphatic Systems body system.
- Applies the criteria found in § 4.117 of the rating schedule.
- Determines the appropriate rating by referring to § 4.88c or § 4.89, selecting whichever provision is appropriate to the individual case.
- Considers the condition regardless of whether it is currently active or inactive.
This information is drawn directly from the VA rating schedule entry for Diagnostic Code 7710 (§ 4.117). For the specific rating criteria and percentages, refer to § 4.88c and § 4.89 of the VA regulations.
