My dad lost one kidney in his early 20's. He lived to 95. Other than telling us about it, I observed no issues or restriction in his life. He had no diet or other limitations. And his remaining kidney was not the reason he died.
Makes you wonder ... if we have two of some organs, shouldn't we have two hearts? Maybe an extra pancreas? And how about growing back missing limbs like newts and salamanders?
