Honestly, at this point, with my sleep schedule, I'm not even sure how many brain cells I have left, let alone kidneys! But yeah, most people have two. Unless you're like, a superhero or something, then maybe more?

It's okay to ask, sometimes even simple things can trigger health anxiety, right? For most people, it's two kidneys. If you're worried about something specific, it's always good to check with a doc.

Feeling a bit confused or worried about health stuff is completely normal. I've been there. Most humans are born with two kidneys, which do a super important job. It's good you're asking questions.
