1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, More than 1 in 7 American adults are estimated to 

3have chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet as many as 9 in 10 

4American adults with CKD do not know they have it; and

5 WHEREAS, At least 15% of Medicare beneficiaries have been 

6diagnosed with CKD; and

7 WHEREAS, While the two most common causes of kidney 

8disease are hypertension and heart disease, the third-leading

3 WHEREAS, IgAN is twice as likely to appear in men as women, 

4can occur at any age but most likely strikes people in their 

5twenties and thirties, and is more common in Asians and white 

6people; and

7 WHEREAS, Kidney disease, including IgAN, presents a 

8significant burden to the health and lives of patients and 

9their families, and it also presents great challenges for the 

10healthcare system and h
