The liver sits in the right upper abdomen and extends downward toward the right kidney, pushing it downward. The left kidney remains higher because its neighbor organs (stomach and spleen) occupy the left side, so the liver doesn’t displace it. Therefore, the kidney displaced by the liver is the right kidney.
