Hello, if yhe doctors have told you that 1 kidney is fully damaged then there is nothing you can do to save the specified kidney. However the other kidney according to your doctors is partially damaged which i can figure out is repairable. And a person can lead a totally normal life with only 1 functioning kidney. As you have not specified any other details about the reports or presenting complaints of the patient its difficult for me to comment exactly on the problem or comment over the outcome. With the given information and to my best knowledge i can suggest to follow with the doctors and get the partially damaged kidney to work normally and the said patient can lead life normally. Thank you
