External Anatomy of the Kidney01:21

External Anatomy of the Kidney

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

  • Ectopic kidney is a congenital anomaly where one or both kidneys are located outside their normal anatomical position.
  • Diagnosis in veterinary medicine often relies on advanced imaging techniques to differentiate ectopic kidneys from other abdominal masses.
  • Clinical signs associated with ectopic kidneys can be varied and may include gastrointestinal or urinary symptoms.
