Can a person live with one kidney?

Yes, a person can live with one kidney, although they may need to make some lifestyle changes to stay healthy. People with only one functioning kidney may urinate more often, especially at night, and they may need to limit their intake of certain foods and drinks, such as salt, potassium, and phosphate. Additionally, they may need to take medications or have regular blood and urine tests to monitor their kidney function. However, with proper medical care and lifestyle management, most people with one kidney can live full and normal lives.
