# DC 7532 - Renal tubular disorders (such as renal glycosurias, aminoacidurias, renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi's syndrome, Bartter's syndrome, related disorders of Henle's loop and proximal or distal nephron function, etc.)

Rated under § 4.115b. Body system: Genitourinary System.

Minimum rating for symptomatic condition 20. Or rate as renal dysfunction.

## Rating criteria

| Rating | Criteria |
| --- | --- |
| 20% | Minimum rating for symptomatic condition |

## Notes

- Note: When evaluating any claim involving loss or loss of use of one or more creative organs, refer to § 3.350 of this chapter to determine whether the veteran may be entitled to special monthly compensation. Footnotes in the schedule indicate conditions which potentially establish entitlement to special monthly compensation; however, there are other conditions in this section which under certain circumstances also establish entitlement to special monthly compensation.

# Renal Tubular Disorders (VA Diagnostic Code 7532)

## Understanding Your VA Disability Rating for Renal Tubular Disorders

Renal tubular disorders are a group of kidney conditions affecting how the kidney's tubules and related structures function. Under VA Diagnostic Code **7532** (§ 4.115b), this category includes conditions such as:

- Renal glycosurias
- Aminoacidurias
- Renal tubular acidosis
- Fanconi's syndrome
- Bartter's syndrome
- Related disorders of Henle's loop and proximal or distal nephron function

These conditions fall under the VA's evaluation of the **Genitourinary System**.

## How the VA Rates Renal Tubular Disorders

The VA provides two possible approaches to rating this condition:

### 1. Minimum Rating for a Symptomatic Condition — 20%
If your renal tubular disorder is symptomatic, the VA assigns a **minimum rating of 20%**.

| Rating | Criteria |
|--------|----------|
| **20%** | Minimum rating for symptomatic condition |

### 2. Rate as Renal Dysfunction
Alternatively, the condition may be evaluated under the criteria for **renal dysfunction**.

---

## What the VA Looks For

When rating a renal tubular disorder under Diagnostic Code 7532, the VA considers:

- **Whether the condition is symptomatic**, which establishes eligibility for the minimum 20% rating.
- **Whether the condition is better evaluated as renal dysfunction**, using the renal dysfunction rating criteria.

## Important Note on Special Monthly Compensation

When evaluating any claim involving **loss or loss of use of one or more creative organs**, the VA refers to **§ 3.350** to determine whether a veteran may be entitled to **special monthly compensation (SMC)**.

Footnotes in the rating schedule indicate conditions that may potentially establish entitlement to special monthly compensation. However, other conditions in this section may also establish entitlement to SMC under certain circumstances.
