Removing the definition of diabetes from this particular instrument changes how claims involving both diabetes and kidney artery disease are assessed—potentially affecting whether some claims are approved or how medical evidence is weighed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-renal-artery-atherosclerotic-disease-no-25-of-2002/documents"}}
