The kidneys are reddish brown and lie behind the peritoneum high up on the posterior abdominal wall on either side of the veebral column; they are largely under cover of the costal marginThe right kidney lies slightly lower than the left kidney because of the large size of the right lobe of the liver.On the medial concave border of each kidney is a veical slit that is bounded by thick lips of renal substance and is called the hilum.The hilum transmits, from the front backward, the renal vein, two branches of the renal aery, the ureter, and the third branch of the renal aery (VAUA). Lymph vessels and sympathetic fibers also pass through the hilum.
