People are born with only one kidney. How to maintain it?
There are about 6,543,800 nephrons in each kidney of human body. According to the research, only110 nephron actually works in each kidney, and 9/ 10 nephron is in the state of "taking turns to rest". If the other kidney is completely normal, it has no effect on the body, because one kidney can completely maintain a person's renal excretion and secretion function. For example, a kidney transplant patient can live like a normal person just by adding a kidney. Just pay special attention to protecting the remaining kidneys. If the only remaining kidney is not well protected and damaged, he will not have another normal kidney. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check urine routine, renal function and B-ultrasound to enhance physical fitness and avoid using drugs that damage the kidneys.

The diet of nephrectomy patients should be light, avoid greasy food, avoid fried food, and limit the intake of high cholesterol food, such as animal viscera, egg yolk, crab roe, fish eggs, pig's trotters, skin and chicken skin. It is suggested to use "white meat" such as chicken and fish, and eat less "red meat" such as cattle, sheep and pork. You can eat calcium-rich foods such as milk and ribs soup intermittently to prevent osteoporosis. Proper addition of vinegar can increase the dissolution and absorption of calcium. In addition, calcium supplementation should not be excessive, otherwise it will increase the burden on the kidneys.

In addition, nephrectomy patients should also change their living habits, advocate eating less and more meals, eat more green leafy vegetables, avoid eating irritating foods such as coffee and tea, and quit smoking and drinking. Because 7% of patients who use cyclosporine may have gout, they should eat less purine foods such as seafood and animal offal. Be careful not to be too tired and take a rest.

Drugs that damage the kidney mainly include (1) antibiotics, including aminoglycosides such as neomycin, gentamicin and amikacin, anti-tuberculosis drugs such as rifampicin, (2) analgesics, (3) non-corticosteroid anti-inflammatory drugs such as fenoprofen and naproxen, (4) some contrast agents, and (5) traditional Chinese medicines such as Akebia stem.
