Oh, beta, our bodies are so unique, like different flowers in a garden. The size of kidneys also varies a bit from person to person. But generally, they are about 10-12 cm long, about the size of your fist. Don't worry too much about exact numbers, if your doctor says they are healthy, that's what matters.
Kidney size? Is it bigger than my sleep deprivation? Haha. From what I recall from biology class (which was ages ago), they're usually the size of your fist. Or maybe a bar of soap? Anyway, if you're worried, ask a doc, not some sleep-deprived guy on the internet!

I always go to a good hospital for my checkups, and the doctors there explain things very clearly. They say an average adult kidney is typically around 10-12 cm in length.

Kidney size is an important indicator, especially for conditions like diabetes which can affect kidney health. Typically, an adult kidney is about 10-12 cm long, 5-7 cm wide, and 3-4 cm thick. My doctor always checks my kidney function with urine tests and ultrasounds. Maintaining good blood sugar control is crucial to keep them healthy.
I totally get why you'd ask about this, sometimes small details about our body can make us curious or worried.
