Average kidney size if you only have one kidney?

The average size of a single kidney in an adult typically ranges from 10 to 12 centimeters in length and about 5 to 7 centimeters in width. When a person has only one kidney, the remaining kidney may undergo compensatory hypertrophy, potentially increasing in size to handle the body's filtration needs. Despite this, the average size remains similar to that of a normal kidney. Overall, individual sizes can vary based on factors like age, sex, and overall health.
