You can live well with one kidney. It will be interesting to see what your nephrologist thinks of your post op kidney numbers. Why did you require a radical nephrectomy surgery in the first place if you don’t mind me asking?

I had a complex cyst that was being monitored for a number of years. I couldn’t get a biopsy because it was liquid filled. It was not cancer.

@cehunt57, you're absolutely right...you can live well with one kidney. And many, many kidney transplant recipients here on Mayo Connect, including me, can attest to that.
