Can My Baby Live With Only One Kidney?

Hi My son is born with a single kidney

He is 7 months

Can he live with one kidney

My doctor prescribed me renal scintigraphy to make sure of the function of his kidney

The scintigraphy was normal.

As a parent, I am concerned of the future of my son.

Can he live with only one kidney?

Best regards
