Answer:
Your kidneys are located in the back of your abdomen, just under your ribcage, on each side of your spine. Pain in your sides or middle to upper back could be coming from your kidneys.

- The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of your spine, below your ribs and below your stomach.
- Each kidney is about the size of a huge fist and is around 4 or 5 inches in length.
- The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood.
- They eliminate waste, maintain fluid balance, and maintain proper electrolyte levels in the body.
- Approximately 40 times a day, your whole body's blood travels through them.
- The kidney receives blood, removes waste, and adjusts salt, water, and minerals as necessary.
- The blood is reintroduced into the body after being filtered.
- Waste is converted to urine, which gathers in the kidney's pelvis, a funnel-shaped structure that drains to the bladder via a tube called the ureter.
- A million microscopic filters called nephrons are found in each kidney. Only 10% of your kidneys may be functional.
