• A person only needs one functioning kidney to survive.
• But when both of someone’s kidneys fail, they need a kidney transplant to survive.
• When a person donates one of their kidneys, the other one compensates for it, and enlarges by a little to fulfil the extra workload on it.
• This happens in both the donor and the receiver, thus they can both live with only one kidney.
• Depending on the patient’s overall health, lifestyle and any other medical conditions they may have, kidney donations from live donors may last 12-13 years, while those from deceased donors last 8-10 years. 

• Some diseases that affect kidney functions are pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), nephrotic syndrome, ESRD, renal failure, etc.
• These diseases affect the blood flow within kidneys. If nephrons don’t receive enough blood supply, they start to die.
• If enough nephrons die, kidney function is affected and leads to renal failure.
