A member asked:
I have a hypertention and i have only one kidney. would you give me some comment for my diet plan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
normal diet: I only have 1 kidney too. 1 kidney is more than enough to live a normal, unrestricted life. Be sure your BP is well controlled. Avoiding excess salt is a prudent plan. As would be true for people with 2 kidneys, a low fat, plant based, well balanced diet, avoiding becoming overweight is a good plan.
