What is the meaning of concave side of the kidney?

The normal kidney location is towards the back of the abdominal cavity, just above the waist. One kidney is normally located just below the liver, on the right side of the abdomen and the other is just below the spleen on the left side. This is why when they are infected pain is often felt in the lower part of your back. In rare cases, however, one or both kidneys may be located much lower in the abdomen. This is not necessarily a problem except probably in the case of pregnancy. As the foetus begins to develop in the womb this could sometimes place pressure on the kidney which is located in the lower abdomen. The kidneys are dark-red, bean-shaped organs. One side of the kidney bulges outward (convex) and the other side is indented (concave). There is a cavity attached to the indented side of the kidney, called the Renal Pelvis, which extends into the urethra. Each Kidney is enclosed in a transparent membrane called the renal capsule; it is this renal capsule that helps to protect them against infections and trauma. Additionally, the kidney is divided into two main areas: A light outer area called the renal cortex, and a darker inner area called the renal medulla. Within the medulla there are 8 or more cone-shaped sections known as renal pyramids, furthermore, the area within these pyramids are known as renal columns. The normal kidney size of an adult human is about 10 to 13 cm (four to five in) long and about five to 7.5 cm (two to three in) wide. It is approximately the size of a conventional computer mouse. Additionally a kidney weighs approximately 150 grams. Kidneys weigh about 0.5 per cent of total body weight.
