A member asked:
General care for solitary kidney. i had one removed because of ruptured huge angiomyolypoma. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protect kidney : The remaining kidney will enlarge and take over the blood filtering function of the lost kidney. To protect the remaining kidney, make sure any medical problems that affect kidney function, like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, are kept under good control. Some would recommend avoiding contact sports to decrease risk of injury.
