Where is right kidney?

I was just watching a health show, and they were talking about kidneys. Now I'm confused about their exact location. Can someone tell me, where is the right kidney in our body?

I once thought my kidney was hurting, and I panicked! Turns out, the right kidney is located on the right side of your body, below your rib cage, but a little lower than the left one. It's tucked behind your abdominal organs, closer to your back. So, any pain in that area needs checking.

The right kidney is located on your right side, just under your rib cage, towards your back. It sits a bit lower than the left kidney because of your liver. If you have any discomfort there, please get it checked. Your health is important, take care.

The right kidney is on your right side, just below the rib cage, located more towards your back. Simple as that. Don't fall for any random internet 'remedies' if you're experiencing pain there. Go to a real doctor and verify the information you get online.

Our right kidney is on the right side, just below the ribs, near the back. Sometimes, people mistake back pain for kidney pain. For general good health of kidneys, drink plenty of water and eat light food. But if there is real pain, one must see the doctor, beta.

Yaar, actually, your right kidney is on the right side of your body, just below the rib cage, a little towards your back. It's usually a bit lower than the left one because of the liver being on the right side. So, basically lower back area, right side.
