HelloThanks for query. You have undergone surgery for removal of one kidney. Normally there is no need to monitor the other kidney unless patient has urinary problems.However, one has to follow regime in order to prevent the other kidney from getting diseased 1) Chat Doctor. 2) Avoid getting UTI 3) Frequent routine urine test to be done to rule out UTI 4) Blood test to assess renal function to be done every year .5) Consult Nephrologist or Urologist for check up every year.
