where kidneys located

#1
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the abdomen, on either side of the spine. They are near the lower back and are partially protected by the lower rib cage. The kidneys are important for filtering waste products from the blood, producing urine, and regulating the balance of electrolytes in the body. They also help regulate blood pressure, produce hormones that regulate red blood cell production and promote bone health, and play a role in the body's overall fluid balance.
