Yes. There are two million nephrons in the body. Losing one nephron won't make a difference.
Without any nephrons (End Stage Renal Disease), people can survive on a renal diet and with dialysis.

∙ 14y agoGenerally, humans can live normally with just one kidney, as one has more functioning renal tissue than is needed to survive. Only when the amount of functioning kidney tissue is greatly diminished will chronic kidney disease develop. Renal replacement therapy, in the form of dialysis or kidney transplantation, is indicated when the glomerular filtration rate has fallen very low or if the renal dysfunction leads to severe symptoms.
