To be left with Just One Kidney?

Well, there's is no big deal donating one kidney to a person who needs a kidney transplant, just take a little precaution to live healthier and avoid some extreme case situations - like it should be in everyday  life. Aside these, you are totally normal. One healthy kidney can work as well as two!!

If you are an Sports aficionado like myself or you are headed for age seventy, (read 'getting older) like we all are doing, you will need to;

        - avoid some contact sports               like football, boxing, soccer,             martial arts, or wrestling.

         - endeavour to wear.                            protective gears such as                  padded vests under clothing,            to help protect the kidney.                from injury during sports.                  This helps lessen the risk.

Secondly, like in healthy living, you should Visit your doctor yearly to;

        - check your kidney function.              by having a simple urine.                  test (urinalysis)

         - have a simple blood test.

         - have your blood pressure.                checked

         -Your Kidney function should.            be checked every few years -            except an abnormal.                          urinalysis or blood pressure.            is found then do your                         checks more regularly

When it comes to Your food.

With one healthy kidney (in donor cases), you do not need to follow a special diet. If you have a kidney transplant though, due to kidney disease or kidney failure, you may have some diet restrictions otherwise just eat healthy like every one else is expected to. By;

           - having a healthy well -                         balanced diet.

           - reduce your salt intake

           - aim to drink six to eight.                    glasses of water a day, or.                 a minimum of two litres

For Medication:

Its time to quit your non-prescription medicines or over the counter drug purchasing of medicines and analgesia etc.

          - All medications must be.                           prescribed by authorized.                           persons 

 

Except in very rare cases, people with one kidney live healthy, normal lives with few problems and their life span is normal.
