This resolution expresses strong support for designating September 2025 as "National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month." Its primary goal is to significantly increase public awareness and understanding of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a prevalent genetic disorder affecting approximately 600,000 individuals in the United States. The resolution emphasizes that this awareness month will help foster a better understanding of the disease's profound impact on patients and their families. PKD is a progressive genetic disorder that causes damage not only to the kidneys but also to cardiovascular, endocrine, hepatic, and gastrointestinal systems. With very few treatments available and no known cure, it stands as one of the four leading causes of kidney failure in the United States, with nearly 50 percent of affected individuals experiencing kidney failure by age 60. The resolution also recognizes the crucial need for additional research to develop effective treatments and ultimately find a cure for this debilitating condition. It encourages all people and interested groups across the United States to participate in appropriate ceremonies and activities to promote awareness and understanding of PKD.
