Your kidney is in your back side and not on the front side like most people assume. They are actually just below the rib cage on your middle back side.

The term ventral refers to which part of the body?

most simply dorsal = back side and ventral = or front side. This may vary depending on the morphology of the specific species you're looking at (i.e. back and front could mean top and bottom). An easy way to determine the dorsal side is asking yourself what side is closest to the spine, or the notochord etc. if not a vertebrate. In contrast, coming from the Latin word "venter" meaning belly; the ventral side contains the abdomen or digestive tract.


Difference between frontal and sagittal section of kidney?

"Frontal" refers to the front portion of the kidney or any structure, sagittal refers to an imaginary plane through the middle of the body, dividing into equal left and right portions. So to take a sagittal section of the kidney is not usually possible as there is one on each side in humans and they are not near the midline.


Could your kidney cause left side pain?

Yes, it's possible that your kidney can cause left side pain or left side back pain. Your kidneys are located on the left and right of your spine just above the highest point of your pelvis. Kidney pain can be confused with other types of pain, and can be a sign of an infection or something more serious. If you have lower back pain, kidney problems could be a contributor. You could also have a bladder infection which can spread to the kidney. This can also be very serious. Sometimes infections spread past the kidney and cause abscesses on the kidney or in the bloodstream, but you would have a fever if that were the case. There are other conditions that could cause left side pain such as an infection in the colon for older people or the urinary tract, ovary or fallopian tube for women, and side pain during pregnancy is very common. It can also be related to abdominal pain, flank pain, the bladder or appendix, even a cold. Some causes of kidney pain can include kidney damage, inflammation, cysts or failure, kidney stones or enlarged kidneys. If this pain continues or worsens, you need to see your doctor right away to make sure it isn't something more serious. They can also run blood and urine tests, ultrasound or CAT scans, etc. as needed.
