My CCNA status is to expire soon. I plan to get the CCNP certification. However, my CCNA status may be expired before I finish the whole CCNP track.

Can I recertify the CCNA status by passing a single exam in CCNP track?

TIA

According to Cisco, taking and passing any new exam at the Professional level, will recertify you at the Associate level.

that's a useful reminder to a lot of us...

CCNA status is independant of the CCNP status. You can still get your CCNP and not have a CCNA and vice versa.

Any upgraded exam will refresh your CCNA. Go to cisco.com/go/certifications to read about it. You should know this if you're a CCNA.

The CCNP certification requires a valid CCNA certification. I doubt a lapsed CCNA certification is considered valid, but don't quote me on it.

I think you'll find that you need to have current CCNA Status to earn the CCNP.
