Why is it that a person that gives a kidney to someone else can survive with one kidney but the other needs two?
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.

How can people survive with one kidney?
The short story is that the remaining kidney is able to compensate for the lost kidney relatively rapidly. This occurs especially through hormonal changes that allow the remaining kidney to increase how much work it does.Kidney work is measured by a term called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which indicates how much blood the kidney filters per unit time. After the removal of a kidney, hormonal changes occur that ultimately cause GFR in the remaining kidney to increase. Provided that the remaining kidney is healthy and that an adequate GFR is ultimately reached, individuals will survive with a single kidney with few complications.
