Hello
normally one kidney is sufficient to take care of normal functions if there is not any underlying factor to affect kidney functions...you should get her test named RFT's once in a year i.e atleast once every year and you dont need to think about kidney transplant in near future as i told u 1 healthy kidney is sufficient
