It’s
so easy to take your kidneys for granted, especially because they chug along
day after day, working their magic without you having to lift a finger. And if
you happen to lose a kidney because of infection, injury, or donating one, the
remaining kidney just takes over the extra load and keeps on trucking.
In
fact, a healthy person who donates one of his kidneys has a life span equal to
someone who has two normal, healthy kidneys.
