Kidneys are the bean-shaped organs that are located 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.
They filter wastes, including urea, salts, and excess water, which are flushed out of the body as urine.
