The left kidney is located slightly more superior than the right kidney due to the larger size of the liver on the rightside 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 sits under the liver, the biggest internal organ. So it's lower down (2-8cm lower) compared to the left kidney that is under the spleen, a much smaller organ. The tops of the spleen and liver are more or less in line due to the diaphragm, which is why where their lower borders are makes this type of difference.
