I think your doctor would be the best person to answer that question.

Article about a girl with one kidney who competed in 2008 olympics at Tae Kwon Do.

Good luck with it.

I believe Houston Alexander only has one kidney but it's def best to still check it out.

He does indeed; donated one to his eldest daughter in 2000. Fought at a high level for 8 years without one thus far.

Definately go to your doctor before you do anything, good luck mate.

Yeah especially with effects of some of the supplements can have on your kidneys definitely worth checking everything with your doctor and nutritionist beforehand.
