Dr. John Hsieh answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Depends on height: The appropriate size of your kidney's depend on your height. So the taller you are, the larger your kidneys should be. To give a range for the general population, 9-12 cm is a broad range that would include the normal size for most heights.
