More than 37 million adults in the U.S. are estimated to have CKD, yet about 90% don’t know they have it. Early detection is VITAL when screening for kidney disease. Please ask your medical team to screen your kidney function at least annually! bit.ly/45gc9ca

I'm asking @chuckgrassley, @SenateGOP and @SenateDems to unite behind the Wyden/Sanders package. The Honor Our Living Donors Act will improve our transplant system & save lives. And THANK YOU for introducing the OPTN Fee Collection Authority Act!
📣 Calling on @senjoniernst to support the Wyden/Sanders package including the Honor Our Living Donors Act! This vital legislation would expand access to the National Living Donor Assistance Center, and support more people to donate a lifesaving kidney! #KidneyMonth
@senjoniernstThe OPTN Fee Collection Authority Act ensures stable funding for our nation's organ matching system. Please support this critical legislation in the Wyden/Sanders package! Every day 17 Americans die waiting for transplants.
