Introduced

Summary

Designates June 10 as FSGS Awareness Day to focus attention on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a severe scarring kidney disease. The resolution highlights that about 1 in 7 adults have chronic kidney disease, that FSGS leads to kidney failure for roughly half of patients within 5 to 10 years, can recur in up to 50 percent of kidney transplants, costs insurers about $2.0 billion a year, disproportionately affects Black Americans, and calls for more awareness, faster diagnosis, family support, and research.
