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.

This area is one of two regions (left or right) of the abdomen, situated on each side of the epigastrium (above the stomach) and above the lumbar regions.Both are located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area. They sit opposite each other on both the left and right side of the body; the right kidney, however, sits a little lower than the left to accommodate the size of the liver.Odd enough, this is where the seat of melancholy is supposed to be found.

Which kidney is higher?

The right kidney sits under the liver, the largest internal organ. So it's lower down (2-8cm lower) than the left kidney which is under the spleen, a much smaller organ. The tops of the spleen and liver are pretty much in line due to the diaphragm, which is why where their lower borders are makes such a difference.

Burning pain on right side above waist?

Probably due to drinking so much last night.ANSWERIt depends on what side of the abdomen. The right side has a kidney and appendix. The left side has another kidney and the gallbladder. Everything, except for the appendix, can create stones. Stones are very painful. In the middle of the abdomen are female parts and the bladder. Those parts are prone to infection, especially in women. Hope this helps.Correction to above: The gallbladder and appendix are both located on the right side in most people.

Why is the right kidney is lower than the left kidney?

Because the right kidney is just below the liver and left kidney below spleen. Liver being larger in size on right side pushes right kidney a little downward, but such an action is not taken by spleen because of its small size on left side.
