Disability Due to Genitourinary Disorders
Genitourinary conditions and disorders are defined by the Social Security Administration as those that lead to chronic kidney disease. This type of condition can affect a person's proper functioning and make them unable to work.
Genito-Urinary Disorders that qualify for benefits
There are several disorders or medical conditions that qualify for disability benefits under the genitourinary problems category. Some of these are:
- Chronic obstructive uropathy
- Interstitial cystitis
- Kidney failure
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Chronic glomerulonephritis
- Hypertensive nephropathy
- Diabetic nephropathy
This is not a complete list. There are a number of factors that Social Security considers when declaring you disabled. For example, if you are on chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, you may meet the definition of disability before dialysis began. Another similar case is if you received a kidney transplant. Social Security evaluates each case individually. You may obtain benefits depending on your particular circumstances.
