One whole healthy kidney . Any less, or any disfunction, and you have a problem . Stay on your diet, continue the 8-10 glasses of water daily , the rest of your body still needs it. Practice good handwashing and be very careful with you toilet habits. First sign of ANY problem , off to the doc with you.

What is some advantage for donating a kidney alive?

How does the kidney work with these system?
I not sure what you are referring to as these system. Just think of your kidneys as a filter for your body, it filters out the things it does not want, or maybe you have to much of. For example had a patient once who had to much magnesium in her TPN, her kidney filtered it out thru urination. She all of a sudden started putting out large amounts of urine. Having said that if you had kidney issue, your body could not do this and you die. With out at least one working kidney, you are on a dialysis machine. The machine acts just like your kidney do if they were working it filters out the bad stuff and put clean blood back in your system.
