Yes. There are a lot of people that are living today with only one kidney. If someone needs a kidney transplant because both of theirs have gone bad they can receive one from a donor so long as they match. So the person that has the transplant has one and the person who donated a kidney has one.
Some people have to due to infections etc. You can survive with one kidney
Yes. It's relatively common for people with two failed kidneys to receive a donor kidney from a relative.
More contentiously, there is a trade (illegal in most western countries at least) in kidneys from poor 3rd world donors.
Whilst having only a single healthy kidney is relatively safe - providing the remaining kidney stays healthy - if it fails, then a transplant or dialysis would very quickly become essential.
Yes, you can live with just one kidney, as long as it is healthy.
yes, you only need one kidney to live a normal life, but if that one kidney fails, you do not have a backup.
Yes, it is possible to live normally with only 1 kidney. That is why it is possible to donate a kidney to someone who needs one, and to still live.
yes, but if you lose 2 kidneys.. you die. Its harder to live on 1 kidney.
Certainly, thousands do it all the time. Kidney transplants typically take a single kidney from a living donor and give it to someone who's kidneys have stopped working.
yes a lot of people have only one kidney
yes
You can survive with one kidney because it can do the work of both! However, people living with one kidney have to be very cautious of their lifestyle choices as leading an unhealthy life would lead to kidney failure faster than a person with two kidneys.
To survive an human needs either one functioning kidney, or regular treatment by a dialysis machine.
Very unlikely because you only have 2 kidneys and 1 pancreas. Humans need both of these to survive. However if one kidney was still working then you could survive.
Usually no. Amazingly enough we can survive with one kidney. Someone who has one kidney should see a Dr. regularly to check bloodwork regarding kidney function.
The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.
Depends. Probably his hunger or how much he cares about that person. You only need one kidney to survive..
Can you survive severe pancreas if you are put on a kidney dialysis machine,and in late 40's. Can you survive severe pancreas if you are put on a kidney dialysis machine,and in late 40's.
Most of us start out with two. If we lose one the other will take over and usually do just fine.
Yes. Many people donate a kidney to friends or family members that have kidney failure. The donor then has one kidney and probably the recipient has one functioning kidney.
Kidney Donars
You can't assume it would be a problem. It's not unusual for those born with a single kidney, with a single functioning kidney, or who donated a kidney to have a successful pregnancy.
