Is this life threatening?

Hello All,

Today morning my father went for full body checkup & while doing Sonography it has been diagnosed that my father has only one kidney & that is too large. His age is 54 years & he has not been admitted to the hospital till now. No major issues or even a minor one he has faced due to this. He is very healthy & fit even in this age too.

But he is really upset & little bit feeling down since he came to know about this so as I & even my whole family. Is this life threatening?

Regards,

Endless Love.

    The reason we have paired organs is so we can survive if one is damaged or lost.

    He has lived with only one kidney so he should be fine.
