Humans seem to adapt well to one kidney. My only observation is my uncle that had an infected kidney removed when he was 17, he is now 85, looks 60 and very active. He has no diet restrictions except one that he self-imposed when he lost the kidney. He drinks only water. It’s been only water for the last 68 years. I think he’ll easily hit 100.
