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. Therefore, they are actually outside the peritoneal cavity.

The kidneys are situated below the diaphragm, one on either side of the spine. They are just below the rib cage. Each bears a small but crucial cap of endocrine tissue called the adrenal gland, which produce the important steroid hormones of the body. kidneys are essential for filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. Each kidney is connected to the bladder by a tube called the ureter, through which urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder for storage until it is excreted from the body.
