If a patient has one functioning kidney what kind of treatment would they go through?
A
None
B
Dialysis
C
Blood Transfusion
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dialysis is a treatment for individuals whose kidneys are failing. There are two types of dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, that both perform normal kidney functions, filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -With kidney failure, dialysis is only able to do some of the work of healthy kidneys, but it is not a cure for kidney disease. With ESKD, you will need dialysis for the rest of your life or until you are able to get a kidney transplant.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you have both kidneys completely removed, you will not make any urine. You will need to have kidney dialysis. This is a way of getting rid of waste products and excess water that the kidneys normally filter out of your blood. Dialysis means you can lead a more or less normal life without a working kidney.
