The kidneys are located in your back, near the intestines.
The excretory system.You have multiple answers....it's excretory. It's not really the endocrine system although the adrenal glands (located right on the kidney) are in the endocrine system.There is absolutely an excretory system and it's not just the kidneys that are involved but the lungs (excrete co2) the intestines (digestive yes but also excrete waste) and obviously the kidney, bladder, ureters and urethra.The kidneys are part of the urinary system.

No, it is called an excretory organ and has some endocrine functions.

The adrenal glands belong to the endocrine organ system. This system is comprised of different glands in the body including (but not limited to) the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, the gonads as well as the pancreas. The adrenal glands are located on top of each kidney, deep in the abdomen.
The right lobe of the liver is just above the right kidney. You can see a drawing of the posterior (back) & inferior (bottom) surfaces of the liver by clicking on the "Anatomy of the Human Body, Fig. 1087" link below. Note the "Renal Impression" which is the dent or concavity under which the right kidney fits. There are also adrenal glands, parts of the endocrine system, that sit on top of both kidneys. You can see a diagram of them by clicking on the "Endocrine System" link below.
The endocrine system is composed of several ductless glands; clusters of cells located within certain organs, and isolated endocrine cells in the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems.
