Detailed explanation-1: -The paired kidneys are located between the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae, one on each side of the vertebral column.
Detailed explanation-2: -They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine. Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of your bladder.
Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the upper retroperitoneal region of the abdomen. That is, they are located behind the smooth peritoneal lining of the upper part of the abdominal cavity, between it and the posterior body wall.
Detailed explanation-4: -Their main job is to remove waste products from your body. Most people have two kidneys, one on either side of the spine under the lower ribs. They are bean-shaped and reddish brown in colour. Each kidney is about the size of a clenched fist.
