People with one kidney are capable of performing the normal functions of people having both kidneys. While it is possible for such individuals to live a normal and active life, it is important for them to make wise and healthy lifestyle choices. Poor dietary and lifestyle habits can overwork a single kidney, causing diminished kidney function, leading to kidney failure. I came across a web site that contains a wealth of detailed information on the topic of living with one kidney. The link to the web site is called Living With One Kidney and is displayed directly below this window.
