Does anyone know if nephrotic syndrome will disqualify you from the Army, or any branch in the military?

My sister is considering a career in the military, preferably in the army, but she has nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder that causes your body to excrete too much protein in your urine. Would she be able to enlist in the military, or would this limit her to certain MOS's, or anything like that?

Probably not as this can lead to real issues down the road. Would probably need a waiver and documentation by a Nephrologist stating condition and sequelae.
