A member asked:

I just had a spinal fusion and i was born with only one kidney, so i'm worried about the effects on my kidney?

FUSION: If you can urinate to completion and you were born with one kidney it is likely doing the work of 1.5 kidneys. A healthy balanced diet and proper fluid intake can ensure it's health and function. Diabetes and hypertension can effect it's health.
