      The kidneys are two bean shaped organs that are located in the upper/mid back just below the ribcage. They are awesome as they purify the blood by removing pollutants/toxins which then are removed from the body through urine. Its a fantastic way of filtering bad things from the system.

      No much I can add to Andy’s answer, only that we can live quite healthily with just one working kidney although normally we are born with two
