A member asked:
Will a new kidney function normally after just having a left and right nephrectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I take it you are a recepient of a kidney transplant and your kidneys were causing harm to you so they were removed at the same time. The new kidney will do the work of 2 as long as there is no rejection or infection.
