A member asked:
What are common negative side effects of having one kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: It can serve forever if you take good care of it. The disadvantage is that if you get a chronic kidney disease, the longevity of having one kidney function is less than that of 2 kidney functions. Not your survival, the kidney function survival is what's at stake if you develop a disease in it. Kidney donors' function survival is excellent because they go through work up to ensure appropriateness.
