One is enough, if it's healthy and working OK.
A person who donates a kidney is called a living kidney donor.
The ICD-9 code for solitary kidney is 753.0. This code is used to denote the presence of a single kidney in a person, either due to a congenital absence of one kidney or the surgical removal of a kidney.
Some of the "downs" (cons, negatives) of donating a kidney include:A person can live with one kidney but if you donate one, and the other becomes diseased, you'll need dialysis or transplant.Preparation for surgery.Going through a surgical procedure.Recovering from surgery.Time off from work.Additional doctor's visits.
Millions even billions cells in human kidney.
Millions, too many to count.
Contact sports, such as football and hockey, can damage the last remaining kidney, which will mean that that person will need a new kidney.
A normal person will not ever pass a kidney stone. Forming or passing kidney stones is not a normal process.

A person can live with one kidney and one lung. They can live if the spleen is removed as well. That is about it.

You need 1 healthy kidney to live
A person may need to get the cancerous kidney removed or treated. Hopefully, the other kidney is OK. Most likely it is not fatal.
You don't actually need both, a person can do fine with only one. But since they are quite important, it's nice to start out with a spare.
can a person live normally with only one kidney and why
You can but it would be pointless because it would have already spread around the body. Please ask your doctor or a kidney specialist for advice about this. Assuming the cancer is only in the kidney and has not spread further, a kidney transplant can be done. The anti-rejection drugs the person would need to take after transplant may have the effect of increasing the rate of growth of any cancers in the person's body so it is likely that the person would need to wait for some time to ensure the cancer has not spread before having a transplant and taking anti-rejection drugs.
The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.
