Active Duty OCS Applicant - Confirmed ALPORT Syndrome Kidney Disease. Question.

[JoeHello]

I am an Active Duty Navy E5. I recently was diagnosed with Alport Syndrome discovered while doing a pre-commissioning physical. I will not be MED boarded and it will not effect re-enlistment as my kidney function shows no imparement. I DO however have Proteinuria and Hematuria.

I am wondering if this is a waiverable condition. I have read NAMI's waiver guide and it mentions both Hema and Prot but I can't tell if my condition applies? It is techinically a Chronic kidney disease but my function is not imparied.

I want to apply SNA/NFO/IW/Intel/SWO . I am not sure which of these I can get a waiver for.
I feel like if I can reenlist I should be able to comission but apparently assesion and retention standers do not see eye to eye. Any input would be helpful.

Additionally , I have NO systemic diseases including high blood pressure. Just ALPORTS XLAS. I do not suffer from the usual deafness or visual issues. Thanks in advance.

I think you can get a waiver...but, it all depends on the level of your Proteinuria and the level of your Hematuria. And you can count on at least one consult with the Kidney doc and likely a consult with the Urologist.

Update.
As active duty I am required to go through my Primary Care Manager to apply for waivers, and this condition was considered un-waiverable. A waiver was never even submited, as she was sure it would be denied.
Is there anything I can do with this? She told me I am inelgible for all assecion programs CWO/LDO/OCS, but I may re-enlist as lond as I am deployable, which I am.
I DO NOT have reduced function, proteinuria has been drastically reduced in the last 6 months with blood pressure meds, and my Nephrologist (ARMY DOC) has written a glowing recommendation stating this disease will not be an issue, most likely, until I am in my 60's, which is well past my 30 year mark.

Any advice would be great, I am honestly stumped why they have no problem with me being in the Navy, just not an officer, when I literally share a desk with an IW O, and our "physical requirements" are identical.
