Plain-English Summary

The federal government would increase funding and support for research into polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that causes cysts to form in the kidneys and can lead to kidney failure. This would help scientists better understand the disease, develop new treatments, and improve outcomes for the roughly 600,000 Americans living with this condition. The funding would support both basic research and clinical studies aimed at finding better ways to slow or stop the disease's progression.
