Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that having a single kidney by birth, is a congenital anomaly. You don't need to worry at all.
A person needs only one healthy kidney for normal body functions.
A person with two healthy functioning kidneys, can donate one to another person, having failed kidneys, in a kidney transplantation operation.
A person born with one kidney has a larger sized kidney, than in people having two kidneys. There's no special dietary cautions or any thing to avoid. If you've any doubts, you may contact me here, by name.
Wish you well.
