H.Res. 699 is a congressional resolution expressing support for designating September 2025 as "National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month." The resolution aims to increase public awareness of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic kidney disorder affecting approximately 600,000 Americans and one of the four leading causes of kidney failure in the U.S. The resolution highlights that PKD is progressive, affects multiple organ systems, and has no cure, with about 50 percent of patients experiencing kidney failure by age 60. This symbolic designation has no direct funding or enforcement mechanism but encourages Americans and organizations to participate in awareness activities and supports the PKD Foundation's mission to advance research, education, and patient support—including their annual Walk for PKD fundraising event. The resolution was submitted in September 2025 and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
