Abstract. Several studies have shown that total nephron (glomerular) number varies widely in normal human kidneys. Whereas the studies agree that average nephron number is approximately 900,000 to 1 million per kidney, numbers for individual kidneys range from approximately 200,000 to >2.5 million.

Based on autopsy specimens from individuals representing various ethnic groups, a large variation in nephron number exists in the “normal” adult human kidney, such that each kidney contains anywhere from 200,000 to over 1.8 million nephrons.
