The kidneys have many functions, including regulating blood pressure, producing red blood cells, activating vitamin D and producing some glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although most people have two kidneys, you only need one functioning kidney to live an active, healthy life. If you have only one kidney, it’s important to protect it and keep it functioning well because you don’t have a second one to take over if it fails.

Detailed explanation-4: -You have two kidneys that filter your blood, removing wastes and extra water to make urine.

With all those important functions, scientist think having two kidneys must be important for our survival.
