Where are my kidneys?

Answer 1

Stand up. Place your hands on your hips in a typical annoyed manner (just above the sides of the groin should be where your little finger sits).

Squeeze in gently with your thumbs into the soft of your back. Your thumbs are pretty much pressing down on your kidneys. They aren't huge either; they can fit snugly in a gently closed male adult hand.

Answer 2

They are located in back of the abdominal cavity (and technically outside of it). From the back they are about half way down, just under the ribs, and just under the layers of muscle on either side of the spine.

The kidneys are behind the bottom ribs in the back. The lower half of each kidney is unprotected by the ribs.

The ribs are on either side of the spine (in the back), between the intestines in the front and the muscles of the lower back. The bottoms of the kidneys are above the level of the navel. (The right kidney is often slightly lower than the left kidney.)

Answer 3

The right kidney is located under the diaphragm and behind the liver. The left kidney is also located under the diaphragm but behind the spleen.

Your kidneys are on your back sides just below your ribcage, yet above your waist. They are actually much higher than most people think.
The sides of the lower back.

Answer 4

The human kidneys are located in the back of the abdomen, their upper sections behind the lower ribs. The right kidney is typically slightly lower than the left kidney.

Answer 5

a pair of bean-shaped organs in the back part of the abdominal cavity that form and excrete urine, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, and act as endocrine glands.

Answer 6

Kidneys are two organs bigger than the size of your fist in the abdominal cavity on the back side.
