All they know are that they are two medium-sized organs (about the size of an orange) that are shaped similarly to a bean. You may even know that the kidneys are located on each side of your spine, directly below your rib cage. However, this is not enough information about these vital organs. After all, if you don't care for your kidneys, they can become diseased, leading to major health problems. When your kidneys are healthy and capable of actively performing their duties, they will filter an average of four liquid ounces of blood every sixty seconds. While filtering this blood, the kidneys remove extra water which will be made into urine and any waste within the blood. After the water removes the water from the blood, it directs it to the bladder to become urine. This water is transported through the ureters, which are two thin tubes made out of muscle, located on each side of the bladder. This means that your kidneys, along with your bladder and ureters, are all a part of your urinary tract.
