In the erect position, the kidneys are opposite the first four lumbar vertebrae; they are one vertebral level higher when a person is lining down. The right kidney is frequently a little lower than the left (probably because of the liver), and its lower end may be felt.

The kidneys are high on posterior abdominal wall. They are retroperitoneal and the right kidney lies just below left.

They are kidney bean shaped as well.
