    Why do I only have one Kidney?

      Some people are only born with a single kidney. I am one of those people.
      Apparently it's just a bigger kidney that handles the load of two. As a kid I was told this was normal by my family doc and I've never had a problem.
      Only recently have I started to wonder the cause. All of my siblings have two. So I wonder if having one is a consequence of some type of suboptimal condition during pregnancy-- be it stress or nutrition related or whatever. Anyone have any ideas?

      Also wondering if there's a subtly different way I should be eating to account for my having only one, like drinking less or something like that..

            @roided_bulgar Was the hospital you were born in trustworthy? The remaining kidney would develop to overcompensate for the extra workload in its absence, regardless of why, especially if theft occurred at a young age

              @NoFapPeating I suppose I could have two by now. I never checked

                @roided_bulgar If I had to guess your kidney was stolen for the organ trade, I don't have nutrition advice but depending on the specifics of your case you may be eligible for compensation from the hospital where you were born

                  @roided_bulgar Well, sorry. I was mistaken about the way kidney's development.

                    @NoFapPeating sorry I think I misread previous comment. I though you were saying I could regrow a missing kidney. Anyway the only problem with the theft theory is I would've have had to be cut open so wouldn't I have had a scar?

                        @NoFapPeating I'd like to clarify: obviously it would've left a scar at the time, but not necessarily one that would be detectable 20+ years later

                          I know two people with one kidney each. The mother passed it to her son. The son’s in utero ultrasound showed two kidneys but ultimately one of them developed cysts and then degraded away to nothing. I believe it was called poly cystic kidney disease but don’t quote that one for sure. The reason for it appears to be unknown. Could be related to a mild metabolic acidosis or an imbalance in acids and bases from the mother with one kidney and it impacted the developing fetus. Not sure if your mom has two and you have one, more discussion with your mom about her well-being during that time could maybe be helpful.

                          I would pay attention to your acid load (you could track your urine ph for a little while perhaps, although it’s not entirely indicative. I believe Peat wasn’t a huge fan). You’d maybe want to include higher ratio of alkali salts (K, NCHO3, Ca) and Mg in the form of mag bicarbonate to the acids including NaCl and not go too overboard with high amounts of animal proteins or at least as you get older and again ensuring balance

                          Cheers
