This House resolution expresses support for designating September 2026 as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month. Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder affecting approximately 500,000 Americans that damages the kidneys and other organ systems, with nearly half of patients experiencing kidney failure by age 60. The resolution highlights that there is currently no cure for the disease, which ranks among the four leading causes of kidney failure in the United States, and notes that about 10 percent of cases occur as spontaneous mutations with no family history. The resolution encourages the public and organizations to participate in awareness activities and ceremonies during the designated month, and recognizes the work of the PKD Foundation and its patient advocates in conducting research, raising awareness, and providing support. This is a symbolic gesture with no funding or direct policy impact, designed to increase public understanding of a serious genetic disease and support ongoing research efforts.
