I am 36 yr male with extremly atrophied left kidney . what can i do?

Take care of Rt. one: Make sure there are no issues that might threaten your remaining kidney like obstruction or urinary reflux. If you think you might be having a urinary infection get it treated promptly. Keep track of your blood pressure and get treated if it is high.
