H.R. No. 58 is a resolution recognizing March 2025 as Kidney Month in Texas and across the United States. It highlights the significant health concern of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects millions of individuals, many of whom are unaware of their condition until it reaches advanced stages. The resolution notes that CKD progresses through five stages, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which necessitates dialysis or a kidney transplant. The incidence of ESRD has increased over the past two decades, with over 76,000 Texans currently living with kidney failure, a situation exacerbated by high rates of diabetes and hypertension, particularly among minority populations.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of early detection and timely treatment in managing kidney disease and aims to raise awareness about the symptoms and risk factors associated with CKD. By designating March as Kidney Month, the Texas House of Representatives encourages residents to educate themselves on kidney health and support prevention efforts that could save lives.
