Can I Work Safely If Having A Solitary Kidney?

Hello sir. I am 37 male born with solitary kidney working fine. I came to know this in general check up. I worried and got anxious with sleepless ness and visited general physician. He said you have naither BP nor Diabetic. He gave medicines for a month and asked me to do exercise or yoga. Now I am alright with little anxious now and then. But my mother (61 Years) is BP and father (63 Years) BP & Diabetic patients since 16 years. They are well with regular medication since 16 years. I do regular exercise/Yoga 20 min in the morning, took only healthy veg food, No alcoholic, Non veg, No Smoking. I am willing to change my job now to a better prospects and I have to. Till now I worked in safe Jone with less tensions. What do you suggest for me if I wanted to join a new jod as doctor. I am married with 2 kids.

Hello
You can do just fine with only one kidney--in fact, sometimes a relative donates one of their kidneys to another relative if they're a match for them, and naturally as doctors we wouldn't remove one kidney if there was any chance the donor wouldn't be able to have a normal life. Since you don't have hypertension or diabetes the one kidney should function well for the rest of your life
