The left kidney is located slightly more superior than the right kidney due to the larger size of the liver on the right side of the body. Unlike the other abdominal organs, the kidneys lie behind the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity and are thus considered to be retroperitoneal organs.

The right kidney is found much lower than the left because it has to accommodate the liver, the largest gland in the human body. Each kidney is about 11.25 cm. ... Due to the existence of the liver on the right side, which is located anterior to the kidney, the right kidney is slightly lower than the left kidney.
