Bill > HR7506

This bill aims to promote the prevention and early detection of end-stage kidney disease, particularly for rare kidney diseases that disproportionately affect communities of color. It establishes NIDDK Centers on Rare Kidney Disease Research to increase awareness and support clinical research, requires studies on improving diagnostic methods including genetic testing, and creates new grant programs to train primary care providers and develop continuing education curricula on kidney disease. The bill also directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct experiments to evaluate treatments that could delay or eliminate the need for dialysis and transplants, and to study ways to increase public awareness of rare kidney disease.
