The kidneys are essential organs that perform crucial functions, including filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood, regulating electrolytes, and maintaining blood pressure. Without at least one functioning kidney, the body cannot effectively remove these waste products, leading to a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream. This condition, known as renal failure, can quickly become life-threatening if not treated, often requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant to manage. Therefore, having at least one healthy kidney is vital for survival.

A person can live with only one functioning kidney if the other is diseased or has been removed. But no one can live without both kidneys, unless he undergoes almost daily treatments on a special machine called a dialysis machine. This machine is attached to the body, and cleans the blood and removes the wastes, two of the jobs that the kidneys usually do.
