Cleaver, Luetkemeyer Introduce Bipartisan Resolution to Designate September as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month | 2024-09-30 | 2024 | 2024-09 | Democrat | House | MO | Emanuel Cleaver | C001061 | cleaver.house.gov | cleaver | https://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | (Kansas City, MO) – Today, U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) announced the introduction of H.Res. 1505, expressing support for the designation of September 2024 as "National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month” and raising awareness and understanding of polycystic kidney disease. Congressman Cleaver introduced the bipartisan resolution with fellow Missouri lawmaker Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO). “I am proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution designating this month as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Month,” said Congressman Cleaver. “This initiative is vital not only to raise awareness about this often-overlooked condition, but also to support the millions affected by it. Together, we can enhance understanding, promote early detection, and encourage research that will lead to better treatments. The health of our communities knows no boundaries, and prioritizing education and advocacy ensures attention and resources for those living with polycystic kidney disease are accessible.” Polycystic Kidney Disease is a progressive, genetic disorder of the kidneys that affects approximately 500,000 people in the United States. Of the individuals diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease, roughly 10 percent have no family history of the disease and there are currently few treatments and no cure, which is one of the four leading causes of kidney failure in the country.
