Generally, a healthy adult human kidney weighs around 125 to 175 grams. But this is just an average. If you have any specific concerns about kidney health or function, don't rely on general info. It's always safest to get it checked by a doctor for an accurate assessment.

Probably less than the weight of my eye bags after a week of no sleep! 😂 But seriously, an adult kidney is roughly 125-175 grams. It's amazing how such a small thing does such important work, huh?

A kidney usually weighs about as much as a small mango, maybe 125 to 170 grams. More than the weight, keep your kidneys healthy by drinking plenty of water and eating good food. My दादी used to say, drink a lot of plain water. But if you have pain or something, then definitely show it to the doctor.
