The kidney (Latin ren, Greek nephrous) is a paired (right and left) bean-shaped organs with flattened front and back sides, weighing 140-150 g in middle-aged people. The kidney is located on both sides of the body of I-II lumbar vertebrae, on the back side of the abdominal cavity, in contact with the muscle and diaphragm. The peritoneum covers the kidney only in front. Since the liver is located on the upper right side of the abdomen, the right kidney is located below the left. The upper end of the left kidney corresponds to the gap between the II and III lumbar vertebrae.
