Can person live with one kidney?

Yes, a person can live a normal life with only one kidney. In most cases, one kidney is able to take over and compensate for the loss of the other kidney's function through a process called renal hypertrophy, where the remaining kidney increases its size and function to meet the body's demands. As long as the remaining kidney is healthy and functioning well, it is usually possible for an individual to lead a normal, active life. Regular medical checkups and monitoring will be necessary to ensure the long-term health of the single functioning kidney.
