Where are kidneys and liver located?

My doctor was explaining something about my blood reports and mentioned my kidneys and liver. I'm trying to understand my body better, so could someone tell me where exactly these two important organs are located?

The liver is mainly on your right side, upper abdomen, just under your ribs. Kidneys are located on both sides of your spine, below your rib cage, more towards your back. Knowing this is good, but if you have any pain or discomfort in these areas, don't ignore it. I had liver issues once, and early detection is crucial. Please see a doctor if anything feels off.

The liver is located in the upper right part of your abdomen, beneath the diaphragm. The kidneys are located on either side of the spine, below the rib cage, towards your back. If you're asking because of pain or symptoms, don't trust internet diagrams; get a professional diagnosis. It's serious business.

The liver is mostly on the right side of your upper belly, under your ribs. Your kidneys are a bit lower, one on each side of your spine, towards your back. Many people think they are at the front! I usually try some warm water with lemon for liver health, but if pain, better check with doc.

From what I've learned, the liver is mostly in the upper right side of your belly, and the kidneys are on either side of your spine, lower back. Not giving medical advice, just sharing general anatomical knowledge.

Yaar, so the liver is actually on your right side, like upper tummy, under the ribs. Aur kidneys are more towards your back, one on each side of your spine, just below the ribs. Bohot important organs hain dono, so take care of them, haan?

This is good to know! I always get confused about where exactly they are. So liver on the right, higher up, and kidneys lower down, at the back. It's like a mini geography lesson for my own body, haha.

I recently had a full body checkup, and the doctor explained it. The liver is in your upper right abdomen, tucked under your ribs. And your kidneys are behind your abdominal organs, on either side of your spine, below your rib cage, more towards your back. Remember to stay hydrated and eat healthy for both!
