For our medical jellies, should I have any concerns about having only one kidney?

Asked by syz (35943points) September 2nd, 2010

An incidental finding on ultrasound was that I have no left kidney, which has now been confirmed by CT. My panels have always been normal, I rarely drink and don’t do drugs (although I have a wicked ibuprofen habit), I’m vegetarian, so I don’t protein overload – any additional precautions that I should take? Should I expect any issues? Am I doomed to spend my old age on dialysis?
