What the petition asks

Kidney disease is a silent killer. It has little to no symptoms in the beginning stages. Many people are unaware of having kidney disease until either they are having a check-up for other health problems or until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.
Kidney disease can grow rapidly leaving patients in a lot of pain and suffering with very little option left to prolong their lives. If regular screening for kidney disease is offered, then many lives can be saved and prolonged.
