Chronic Kidney Disease is a growing concern, especially in Hispanic communities disproportionately affected by diabetes and high blood pressure.
Because CKD often has no early symptoms, screening is key. Early detection can help slow progression and protect long-term health.

You don't have to do this alone. 💜

Part of the plan to make it #KidneyMonth.
As AKF wrapped up #KidneyMonth, our Ambassadors gathered in Denver for the inaugural West Coast Kidney Action Summit! Ambassadors gained valuable insights into engaging with local legislatures & learned how to harness the power of their personal kidney journeys to drive change.
On March 25th, the Texas House officially adopted House Resolution HR-58, authored by Rep. Tom Oliverson, recognizing March 2025 as #KidneyMonth in Texas.
Rep. Oliverson honored AKF Ambassadors Ronni Behrend, Michelle Osuna, and Ariel Brigham with a gallery recognition for their advocacy efforts.
It's been a good #KidneyMonth! Let's make it a good #KidneyYear2025 for #rFSGS.
