The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist, found on the left and right sides of the spine just below the rib cage. In adults they are approximately 11 centimeters in length. Every day, the two kidneys together filter about 110 to 130 litres of blood and removes impurities and excess fluid in the form of urine. They receive blood from the renal arteries. Each kidney is attached to a ureter, a tube that carries expelled urine to the bladder.
