It depends on the species and size. The ones commonly found where I live (The Norway Rat) at full grown have one approximately the size of a thumb nail.

Cysts that can form on your kidneys can pop. The phrase "pop a kidney" comes from the fact that too much soda pop can cause severe kidney problems. This is because soda is extremely acidic. Eventually, kidney disease can lead to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. This is caused by the phosphoric acid present in soda pop, that causes urinary changes, promoting kidney stones, leading to kidney failure.

Can't sell organs. It's illegal.

The National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA), a federal law, makes it illegal to buy or sell organs for profit. You can be sentenced to five years in prison or a $50,000 fine, or both.

a kidney cell is also called a nephritic cell which is further classified as a somatic cell.

These ducts are tubules and ducts that connect the nephrons to the ureter.

kidneys are inferior and posterior to the liver

renal and kidney are the same so the answer is Yes. the cortex is the outer part of the kidney as opposed to the medulla, the inner part.

how do the kidneys help you breath to keep you alive

The blood supply to the kidneys is from the left and right renal arteries, which branch directly from the abdominal aorta. The kidneys receive approximately 20% of cardiac output despite making up only about 0.5% of bodyweight.

Renal failure.
The effect on an organism of an injured or diseased kidney depends on the extent and severity of the damage. The kidneys play an important role in filtering out waste from the blood. If they can't do that well enough, waste builds up to the point where people can get sick and even die.

If a kidney is "fat" it is inflamed or swollen probably from infection or some

type of growth in your kidney. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. They could be overworked and damaged too.

In most cases the barely functioning existing kidneys are not removed, as this has been shown to increase the rates of surgical morbidity. Therefore the kidney is usually placed in a location different from the original kidney, often in the iliac fossa, so it is often necessary to use a different blood supply

Average is 5-6mm. Some radiologist use 1cm as the norms and anything less than that is considered thinning of renal corticol.

It tries really really hard! Nah, i think it depends on how much fluids you have in your system, if your urine is yellow then it has a higher urea concentration. If its clear, a lower urea concentration

No the kidneys are proximal to the bladder. The urethra is distal to the bladder.

Of course. The kidneys are connected to ureter tubes; waste is filtered through the kidneys and emerges as (relatively!) clean urine.
