Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out.
The upper pole of the kidney is covered by the suprarenal gland. Anteriorly, the right kidney is related to the liver, duodenum, ascending colon or right colic flexure, and small intestine. The left is related to the spleen, stomach, pancreas, descending colon or left colic flexure, and small intestine.
