(b) Chronic. Candidate with chronic glomerulonephritis will be

rejected.

Renal Colic and Renal Calculi. Complete renal evaluation is

required. Candidates with renal calculi will be rejected.

Absence of Kidney. All candidates found to have congenital

absence of one kidney or who have undergone unilateral

nephrectomy will be rejected. Presence of horseshoe kidney will

entail rejection. Solitary functioning kidney with diseased, non-

functional contralateral kidney will entail rejection. Crossed

ectopia, unascended kidney(s) will be a cause for rejection.

Undescended Testis. Bilateral undescended testis / atrophied

testis will be a cause for rejection. Unilateral undescended testis, if

entirely retained in the abdomen, is acceptable. If it lies in the

inguinal canal, at the external ring or in the abdominal wall, such

cases may be accepted after either orchiectomy or orchipexy

operation. In all doubtful cases surgical opinion must be obtained

regarding fitness.

Hydrocele or Varicocele. These should be properly treated before

fitness is considered. Minor degree of varicocele should not entail

rejection.
