ONE KIDNEY: It is likely that kidney was in peril from birth and that you have one remaining that has gotten bigger than a typical kidney. If it was an acute issue we start with about 4x the function needed to grow old and grey. Either way there are no restrictions physical activity with one kidney. Some rec. Rib protectors for contact sports.
