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.

Answer:
In humans, the kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity. The right kidney is placed at a slightly lower level than the left kidney in order to accommodate the largest gland/organ of the body, the liver. The liver bulges out on the right side of the body and then, tapers off to the left.
