Donate a kidney to...

http://www.argusleader.com/article/20120812/NEWS/308120034/Kidney-donor-rides-800-mile-trek-Mich-?nclick_check=1
Kampmann, 43, runs a robotic welder in Elkton, and four years ago he donated a kidney to his wife, Jennifer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whose kidney did Kampmann donate to his wife? His own kidney, right? Is it okay to say "... he donated his kidney to ..." instead?
  

Top answer

Yes, he donated one of his kidneys. A kidney indicates that he has more than one. Yes, his kidney works, too, and does not necessarily mean he has only one.
