Diseases of the genitourinary system generally result in disabilities related to renal or voiding dysfunctions, infections, or a combination of these. The following section provides descriptions of various levels of disability in each of these symptom areas. Where diagnostic codes refer the decision maker to these specific areas of dysfunction, only the predominant area of dysfunction shall be considered for rating purposes. Distinct disabilities may be evaluated separately under this section, pursuant to 4.14, if the symptoms do not overlap. Since the areas of dysfunction described below do not cover all symptoms resulting from genitourinary diseases, specific diagnoses may include a description of symptoms assigned to that diagnosis. Rating Renal dysfunction: Chronic kidney disease with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months; or requiring regular routine dialysis; or eligible kidney transplant recipient 100 Chronic kidney disease with GFR from 15 to 29 mL/min/ 1.73 m2 for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months 80 Chronic kidney disease with GFR from 30 to 44 mL/min/ 1.73 m2 For at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months 60 Chronic kidney disease with GFR from 45 to 59 mL/min/ 1.73 m2 for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months 30 GFR from 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 and either recurrent red blood cell (RBC) casts, white blood cell (WBC) casts, or granular casts for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months; or GFR from 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 and structural kidney abnormalities (cystic, obstructive, or glomerular) for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months; or GFR from 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) >=30 mg/g for at least 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months 0 Note: GFR, estimated GFR (eGFR), and creatinine-based approximations of GFR will be accepted for evaluation purposes under this section when determined to be appropriate and calculated by a medical professional Voiding dysfunction: Rate particular condition as urine leakage, frequency, or obstructed voiding. Continual Urine Leakage, Post Surgical Urinary Diversion, Urinary Incontinence, or Stress Incontinence: Requiring the use of an appliance or the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed more than 4 times per day 60 Requiring the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed 2 to 4 times per day 40 Requiring the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed less than 2 times per day 20 Urinary frequency: Daytime voiding interval less than one hour, or; awakening to void five or more times per night 40 Daytime voiding interval between one and two hours, or; awakening to void three to four times per night 20 Daytime voiding interval between two and three hours, or; awakening to void two times per night 10 Obstructed voiding: Urinary retention requiring intermittent or continuous catheterization 30 Marked obstructive symptomatology (hesitancy, slow or weak stream, decreased force of stream) with any one or combination of the following: 1. Post void residuals greater than 150 cc 2. Uroflowmetry; markedly diminished peak flow rate (less than 10 cc/sec) 3. Recurrent urinary tract infections secondary to obstruction 4. Stricture disease requiring periodic dilatation every 2 to 3 months 10 Obstructive symptomatology with or without stricture disease requiring dilatation 1 to 2 times per year 0 Urinary tract infection: Poor renal function: Rate as renal dysfunction. Recurrent symptomatic infection requiring drainage by stent or nephrostomy tube; or requiring greater than 2 hospitalizations per year; or requiring continuous intensive management 30 Recurrent symptomatic infection requiring 1-2 hospitalizations per year or suppressive drug therapy lasting six months or longer 10 Recurrent symptomatic infection not requiring hospitalization, but requiring suppressive drug therapy for less than 6 months 10 [59 FR 2527, Jan. 18, 1994; as amended at 59 FR 10676, Mar. 7, 1994; 86 FR 54085, Sept. 30, 2021] Supplement Highlights references: 7(1), 65(1) Next Section is 4.115b     4.115a- 4.115aRatings of the genitourinary systemdysfunctions 4.115a- (No. 65 11/5/21) <=uv{  8 9 x y   6 < = I J   & ( ) 3 D G H I _ z     6 ; < = > ћ(hqhqB*H*OJQJ^JaJph hGh8MCJ OJQJ^JaJ hB*OJQJ^JaJph%hZohB*OJQJ^JaJphhGh8MOJQJ^JhGh8M5OJQJ^J:<=( ) 3 G H  < = } $ $ # a$gdq$ $ # a$gd$ $ # a$$ a$ Tp !t"$`a$$ 8p# a$> s t z { | }      * = A B C D y 캺qqqqqh9B*OJQJ^JaJph(h9h9B*H*OJQJ^JaJph%hZoh9B*OJQJ^JaJph hGh8MCJ OJQJ^JaJ hGh8MOJQJ^JhqB*OJQJ^JaJph(hqhqB*H*OJQJ^JaJph%hZohqB*OJQJ^JaJph' B C M'@K|! 2( Px 4 #\'*.25@9gd9$ $ # a$$ $ # a$gd9  LMO&')@A`a ?q໻໻໻໻໻໻󛈈zhGh8M5OJQJ^J%hZoh9B*OJQJ^JaJph+hZoh95B*OJQJ\^JaJphh9OJQJ^Jh9B*OJQJ^JaJph(h9h9B*H*OJQJ^JaJph%h9h9B*OJQJ^JaJphhGh9OJQJ^J+K|}Agh*TU45GJK()VW78)B%hZohEDB*OJQJ^JaJphhGh%5OJQJ^JhGh8M5OJQJ^J hGh8MCJ OJQJ^JaJ hGh8MOJQJ^JA|}Agh*TU45JK()$ $ # a$)VW78C@$ $ # a$gd :$ $ # a$gdED$ $ # a$BCE_;<>?@ABjopϾwddddddwww%hZoh :B*OJQJ^JaJphhGh :OJQJ^Jh :OJQJ^Jh :B*OJQJ^JaJph%h :h :B*OJQJ^JaJphhGhEDOJQJ^J hGh8MCJ OJQJ^JaJ hGh8MOJQJ^J%hZohEDB*OJQJ^JaJphhEDB*OJQJ^JaJph'*YZrtuwxz{}~ $  0]0`$ 8p# a$$ 8p# a$$ $ # a$gd : (*+6@JKQXYZqrstuvwxyz{|}~ξγܩܛl`l\h8Mh8MCJOJQJ^J&jh8M5CJOJQJU^JaJh8M5CJOJQJ^JaJhh~jhh~UhGh8M6OJQJ^Jh9OJQJ^Jh95OJQJ^JhGh8M56OJQJ^JhGh8M5OJQJ^JhGh8MOJQJ^JhGhOJQJ^JhOJQJ^J$hGh8M6OJQJ^Jhh~h8Mh9CJOJQJ^JaJh8MCJOJQJ^JaJ 50 P/ =!"#$% Dpx666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@66666OJQJ_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ^J_HmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List 4 @4 Footer  4@4 Header  PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭Vj\{cp/IDg6wZ0s=Dĵw %;r,qlEآyDQ"Q,=c8B,!gxMD&铁M./SAe^QשF½|SˌDإbj|E7C<bʼNpr8fnߧFrI.{1fVԅ$21(t}kJV1/ ÚQL×07#]fVIhcMZ6/Hߏ bW`Gv Ts'BCt!LQ#JxݴyJ] C:= ċ(tRQ;^e1/-/A_Y)^6(p[_&N}njzb\->;nVb*.7p]M|MMM# ud9c47=iV7̪~㦓ødfÕ 5j z'^9J{rJЃ3Ax| FU9…i3Q/B)LʾRPx)04N O'> agYeHj*kblC=hPW!alfpX OAXl:XVZbr Zy4Sw3?WӊhPxzSq]y .2 ZZnnnq> B  |)8@0(  B S  ?) 6 rtuwxz{}~    rtuwxz{}~3333333(qr(qr   :ED8Mqh~9G%rt@@UnknownG.[x Times New Roman5Symbol3. .[x Arial3.[x TimesY New YorkTimes New RomanC.,.{$ Calibri Light7..{$ CalibriA$BCambria Math"A8G !+xxjjKQ+@P  $PG2xxU  David Knight David Knight Oh+'0h  $ 0 <HPX`David Knight Normal.dotmDavid Knight8Microsoft Office Word@e@D@Ty> ՜.+,0 hp|  RTSj  Title  !#$%&'()*+,-./013456789;<=>?@ADRoot Entry F^>FData 1Table"HWordDocument72SummaryInformation(2DocumentSummaryInformation8:CompObjr  F Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
