Fact: “Did you know you only need one kidney to live a healthy and happy life?” (Source: Mayo Clinic)
People only need one kidney to live because the remaining kidney can adjust and perform all the functions required for survival. The kidneys are highly efficient organs that filter waste, balance electrolytes, regulate blood pressure, and produce essential hormones. When someone donates a kidney or lives with just one, the remaining kidney typically enlarges slightly to compensate for the loss, maintaining proper kidney function. As long as the remaining kidney is healthy, it can support the body’s needs.
Kidney disease has left me feeling drained and worn out. It impacts every aspect of my life—my energy, my mood, my ability to enjoy the things I love. That’s why the thought of receiving a kidney from a living donor is such a source of hope. You only need one kidney to live a healthy life, and by donating, you could help someone like me feel like ourselves again.
This isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving. You could offer a second chance to someone who is fighting kidney disease and give them the gift of health, energy, and a future free from the constant fatigue and weakness that come with the disease.
