Where is the right kidney located?
Patient: Where is the right kidney located?  I have had kidney stones.   My doctor is concerned about the function of one kidney resulting from a blood test.  Would there be a soreness from the kidney.   The soreness is just above the bend of the leg and hip.   I have a follow up appointment  in early March. Doctor: I suggest you continue that appointment. The kidney is in the back behind the rib cage, but pain from a stone can be felt in other locations like you described.  Please rate 5 Stars! I strive to provide the best answer to your question.
