View submission: Anyone had a kidney removed?
My friend had one removed/ he smashed it falling off his bike. He was in his 30s when it happened. He’s a brick layer and it’s not made a perceptible difference to him. He asked the doctor if he needed to stop drinking as he only had one kidney now. Doctor said no, your fine no alcohol by the time stuff gets to your kidneys (was a bit annoying that as he’s an alcoholic who would have quit if the doctor told him to stop)!

Good to know, thanks! I don't know how long mines not been working and I haven't noticed a difference 😄
Ah such a shame for your mate though and his drinking. Surprised they didn't ask him about his drinking pre-op (unless it was an emergency of course!)
