People have usually two kidneys. How are these located?
symmetrically
the left kidney is located higher
the right kidney is located higher
some people have the left one higher, others have the right one higher
Because of the asymmetry within the abdominal cavity caused by the liver, the right kidney is typically slightly smaller and located lower than the left. Moreover, the left kidney is located slightly more medial than the right.
