Are you the same as a normal person after kidney donation?

From the point of view of Western medicine, a kidney donor is the same as a normal person. Although normal people have two kidneys, research has found that one kidney is able to fulfill the work of two kidneys. For example, some people are born with one kidney, which is called an isolated kidney, and people with isolated kidneys usually do not have symptoms, and they find out by chance during medical checkups. Since there are no symptoms, it means that the patient’s one kidney is able to adequately detoxify and drain water, and there are also endocrine functions to regulate hematopoiesis and calcium-phosphorus metabolism imbalance. Kidney transplantation for patients with uremia is another typical example. The transplanted kidney of patients with uremia is also transplanted with one kidney, but this one kidney is able to adequately detoxify, drain water and regulate the water and electrolyte balance in the body of patients with uremia. Therefore, it is the same as normal people after kidney donation. However, you also need to pay attention to the details, and avoid applying drugs on your own in normal times, especially ibuprofen, gentamicin, and other such drugs that are damaging to the kidneys. When the seasons change, we must pay attention to keep warm to avoid cold and flu causing kidney function damage.
