Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your kidneys sit just below your ribcage and behind your belly. Typically, one kidney sits on either side of your spine. Your kidneys reside between your intestines and diaphragm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys lie on either side of the spine in the retroperitoneal space between the parietal peritoneum and the posterior abdominal wall, well protected by muscle, fat, and ribs.
