| 1 | SENATE RESOLUTION | ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, Chronic kidney disease is the progressive, | ||||||
| 3 | gradual loss of kidney function, which results in a decrease | ||||||
| 4 | in the ability of the kidneys to remove waste from the body; | ||||||
| 5 | and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, It is estimated that 37 million adults in the | ||||||
| 7 | U.S. have chronic kidney disease, and of those, approximately | ||||||
| 8 | 90% remain undiagnosed; and
| ||||||
| 9 | WHEREAS, Without diagnosis and treatment to slow the | ||||||
| 10 | progression of the disease, chronic kidney disease can | ||||||
| 11 | progress to end-stage renal failure, which is fatal without | ||||||
| 12 | dialysis or kidney transplant; and
| ||||||
| 13 | WHEREAS, Regular screening and early detection can prevent | ||||||
| 14 | the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure; and
| ||||||
| 15 | WHEREAS, Kidney disease is the eighth-leading cause of | ||||||
| 16 | death in the State of Illinois; and
| ||||||
| 17 | WHEREAS, The month of March is designated as National | ||||||
| 18 | Kidney Month to raise awareness of kidney disease and the | ||||||
| 19 | importance of prevention and early detection; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL | ||||||
| 2 | ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we declare March of | ||||||
| 3 | 2024 as Kidney Month in the State of Illinois; and be it | ||||||
| 4 | further
