There are 2 kidneys in normal people, and 1 kidney can occur in special populations.
Under normal circumstances, everyone has two kidneys, divided into the left kidney and the right kidney. However, some special people have congenital developmental defects and may have only one kidney, but the kidney function is not necessarily abnormal and normal physiological activities can usually be maintained. Patients who have had one kidney removed due to disease can maintain normal kidney function by paying attention to the protection of kidney function.
The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity of the human body, on both sides of the waist, and play important functions such as drainage, detoxification and endocrinology. The body’s metabolic products as well as excess water and toxins will be discharged through the kidneys to ensure that the body will not suffer from edema and toxin accumulation.
If there is any abnormality in the kidneys, it will affect the excretory function of the human body, and it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to do the appropriate treatment.
