Impairment · 2005 PDRS Section 2
Urinary & reproductive: PD rating
Kidney, bladder, urethra, and reproductive impairment. These arrive directly as a whole-person impairment (WPI) percentage.
WPI → PD rating
Example — a 10% WPI urinary impairment: 10 × 1.4 = 14 standard rating (DOI ≥ 2013), before the occupational and age adjustments.
The occupational and age steps and the final dollar figure depend on the specific job and birth date — the calculator computes them exactly.
How urinary and reproductive ratings work: rated as whole-person impairment by organ — the upper urinary tract at 07.01.00.00, with urinary diversion, bladder, urethra, and the reproductive organs in the numbers that follow — usually keyed to function and treatment dependence. The WPI then runs the standard pipeline: the 1.4 adjustment, occupational variant, and age.

Urinary & reproductive rating FAQ
How is a urinary & reproductive injury rated for permanent disability in California?
These arrive directly as a whole-person impairment (WPI) percentage. The WPI is multiplied by 1.4 to get the standard rating (dates of injury on or after 2013 under SB 863), then adjusted for the worker’s occupation and age, apportioned under Lab. Code §4663, and combined with any other impairments. Example — a 10% WPI urinary impairment: 10 × 1.4 = 14 standard rating (DOI ≥ 2013), before the occupational and age adjustments.

Is this a legal PD rating?
No — it’s an estimate for informational use. Confirm every rating against the DEU. RateString rates strict AMA Guides 5th-edition values under the 2005 PDRS.
