I hit my back really hard on floor from falling. is it possible to damage kidney?

Not likely: Your body is designed to protect your kidneys - covered by ribs and muscles and fat - a fall to the floor would not have the energy like a car accident would. If you see don't see blood in your urine within the first day - you can rest easy that all is well.
