Kidney Anatomy(Diagram) Kidneys are excretory organs belonging to the urinary system that weighs around 150 grams, about the size of a standard computer mouse. They are two-bean shaped structures located right above your waistline.
Kidneys are bean shaped organs approximately 11 to 14 centimeters long, 6 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters thick. Located in the abdominal cavity, they lie retroperitoneally. The right kidney is placed lower than the left, with the latter being slightly more medial than the former. The left kidney is at the level of T12 to L3, and its counterpart slightly lower.[ 2 ]. The image shows the location of both kidneys: the left at the T12 to L3 level and the right lower than the other.
