DIGEST:

This resolution proclaims May 14, 2024, as IgA Nephropathy Awareness Day.

ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:

IgA Nephropathy, also known as IgAN or Berger’s disease, is a rare kidney disorder characterized by the buildup of immunoglobulin A (IgA), a protein that helps breakdown the normal filtering mechanisms in the kidneys.
IgAN is one of the most common and undetected kidney diseases and is estimated to affect approximately 150,000 people in the United States. There is no current cure for IgAN, and treatments can only focus on slowing the progress of the disease and preventing complications.
Approximately 20 to 40 percent of individuals who have IgAN will develop end-stage kidney disease and need dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. Today, there is hope on the horizon for IgAN patients with over 30 clinical trials underway and newly approved treatments for rare kidney diseases, including IgAN.
We need to raise awareness of IgA Nephropathy, provide support to patients, and promote the research needed to lead to better diagnosis and an eventual cure.

Comments

According to the Author, “IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune disorder that causes a person's immune system to attack their kidneys. About 60,000 people in the US are diagnosed with IgAN, making it one of the most common autoimmune kidney diseases. However, cases often go undiagnosed for years and there is no known cure. It's vital that California raise attention to IgAN by recognizing May 14, 2024 as IgAN Awareness Day."
