Usually yes - In a healthy person, the remaining kidney will simply 'take over' from the 'missing' organ.
Humans can live with only one kidney because the remaining kidney is capable of adapting to filter blood and perform the necessary functions of waste removal and fluid balance on its own. The human body has a remarkable ability to compensate for the loss of one kidney by increasing the size and efficiency of the remaining kidney. Additionally, many people are born with only one kidney or may lose one due to injury or disease and still lead healthy lives without significant issues.
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.
The remaining kidney actually picks up a lot of the workload of the removed kidney. That doesn't mean all of it, but it does compensate for it, which is why having only one kidney can take years off of your life, as the remaining kidney is having to work so much harder.
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.

Yes, it is possible to have kidney stones two weeks after just passing them. If you just passed kidney stones, it is possible that there are still remaining stones in your kidney that were not passed with the others.
Contact sports, such as football and hockey, can damage the last remaining kidney, which will mean that that person will need a new kidney.
Chronic kidney (renal) failure.
