Can one survive with one kidney?

Living with one kidney is very much possible with simple living. Drink enough water, eat fresh home-cooked meals with less salt, and avoid heavy processed foods. But if you ever feel sudden pain, swelling, or changes in urine, go to a doctor immediately instead of trying home remedies.

Yes, survival is totally possible and common. But practically speaking, you need to budget for regular kidney function tests like KFT and creatinine checks every 6 months to keep track. Routine checkups are cheaper than sudden medical emergencies, so plan your expenses accordingly.

Man, my baby didn't let me sleep all night so my brain is fried, but even I know you can live perfectly with one kidney! Lots of people donate one and do absolutely fine. Just don't go drinking ten cups of strong coffee like I am doing right now to stay awake.

I donated a kidney to my sister fifteen years ago and we are both living active, normal lives. The main key is to avoid high-protein fad diets, keep your blood pressure strictly under control, and stay hydrated. You don't need to worry, just live mindfully.
