I hope you drink a lot of water, can't imagine how much worse a kidney stone would be if it was concentrated in one kidney.
I'll admit I really don't drink as much water as I should and I'm trying to be better about it.

Yeah, that prisoner must have totally volunteered to donate his heart after being executed. It couldn't possibly happen that people are killed in order to produce organs on the black market...that's just unpossible!
kid got a ipad and person got a kidney.
its like a story I watch on the news that a guy here in the states was going 2 die because his heart was bad. The waiting list was 4 years long in the USA. He went to china and paid 250 grand and got it in 2 days from an executed prisoner.
people do what ever with their body, its no ones business.
prisoner x, we have found an organ match with you. sorry, but WOW time is over and it is time to complete your sentence....
We have two kidneys to deal with insults and stresses beyond our normal routine, such as those that come with exercise, infections, etc.
Not at all. This is a common myth spread by the medically uninformed (much like "you only use 10% of your brain!, etc.). As I already stated, losing a kidney puts an individual at substantial risks. And things only get worse as one gets older. If anyone would like a more detailed medical explanation and the science behind it, I'd be glad to educate, but that's not what this thread is about.The human body only uses a small percentage of the combined two kidneys. You can easily live perfectly fine with one, and only creep into the danger zone around 10-15% function. Father in law only has one, and he's a pretty regular wine drinker, and in excellent health for his age. Now, if only a small percentage of my wife's three kidneys would work, we'd be good.
Pretty speechless about this story. Maybe he can post WTB: a kidney and an ipad in the trade forums.

anyone remember the guy that had a vasectomy for an iphone? http://www.jonholato.com/2007/08/03/man-endures-vasectomy-to-get-iphone/
WTS bag of summoned kidneys by the EC tunnel.
So this is how steve jobs is able to go through as many "donor" organs as he has.
I have met Apple fanbois that have had to give up their self-respect to join the iCult. There's no prosthetic for an amputated SOUL... hooah!
Unless the tech is an upgrade for that body part. Resistance is futile.Tech isn't worth giving-up a body part.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. I never understood why people get super attached to brands. It's really sad.And not at all that surprising given what sorts of rationalizations one WILL see from people obsessed with iProducts.
wow its actually true. I cant believe this. This is sad. Thats what happens when kids dont understand the value of life and properly functioning organs. For an Ipad? a fuckin Ipad? wow.
but its his life, he's gonna regret this one for a long time.
No, you really need the two. Having one requires making some pretty drastic lifestyle changes.
I think you misunderstood your nephrologist or the books. I corrected your statement that "the human body only uses a small percentage of the combined two kidneys." This is true if you're just sitting around resting with a basal metabolic rate. As you put stress on your body and your kidneys, by exercising and creating acid and metabolites, or by an infection, or by taking medications, you need a much higher percentage of your kidney's filtering capacity. In addition to filtering the blood, the kidneys also provide a lot of other functions for the body, such as blood pressure and electrolyte control via the renin-angiotensin system, Vitamin D production, and modifying the creation of red blood cells via erythropoietin. As the kidneys fail, their capacity to perform these functions and deal with stresses decreases (obviously). You can live a very healthy, active, great life with one kidney, transplanted too. All I'm saying is there are risks and there's a reason two kidneys have been selected through evolution.Awesome, I guess my wife should get a new nephrologist , and I should throw away those books I read.
As I said earlier, if you were living a lifestyle that fit the scope of capacity of your kidney, there isn't anything to change.Not true one works just fine. My brother gave me one 13 years ago. no lifestyle changes nor did doctors say to make any.
