What are the effects of living with only one kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No issues generally: As long as your remaining kidney is healthy, there should be no adverse effects/ issues affecting your lifestyle. However, for those individuals with additional medical problems like high blood pressure and diabetes, it is vital to keep these issues controlled to maintain kidney health. Also, one should not engage in contact sports to prevent injury. You need regular check-ups with your doctor
