Ask your doctor: This is from reuters published online on june 2012: for kids with only one kidney, dr. Matthew grinsell of the university of utah in salt lake city said, it's important to make sure the organ works normally and that blood pressure is not too high before sending them onto the field. The american academy of pediatrics also says it is okay for kids to play sports despite having just one kidney.
