Do the lower ribs help protect the kidneys for injury?

The lower ribs provide some degree of protection for the kidneys, particularly the lower ribs on the left and right sides of the body. However, the kidneys are primarily protected by layers of muscle and fat, as well as their positioning in the posterior abdomen. While the ribs can help shield the kidneys from direct trauma, they do not offer complete protection against injury. Other factors, such as body composition and overall health, also play a role in kidney protection.
