Not a problem. I've been living with one kidney since my late teens. My left one was polycystic and apparently never worked very well which I didn't find out until they removed it.

But it's not about how many kidneys one has, it's about one's creatin level in the blood. My one kidney works better than most people's two.

Get a blood test and if your creatin level is too high, be especially careful with drugs and alcohol.
