How do you say kidney in spanish?

My aunt recently had a kidney transplant, and her doctor was explaining things to a Spanish-speaking intern. I was curious what the word for 'kidney' is in Spanish. Does anyone know?

The word for kidney in Spanish is 'riñón'. It's completely normal to feel a bit anxious when you're looking up anatomical terms, but don't worry, finding the right words is just the first step.

It is 'riñón'. My father had to go through kidney function tests while we were traveling in Spain, so we had to learn this word to understand the hospital reports. It was quite stressful but the local doctors were very cooperative.

In Spanish, kidney is called 'riñón' (plural is 'riñones'). If you are translating lab reports, look out for words like 'función renal' which refers to kidney function.

The word is 'riñón'. If you are planning to get kidney tests or scans done abroad, make sure to compare the laboratory rates beforehand as private hospital charges can be quite high.

The Spanish word is 'riñón'. If you're dealing with any back pain or renal symptoms, just go get an ultrasound done instead of self-diagnosing online.

It is called 'riñón'. My son had some minor renal issues last year, and I know how overwhelming it is to manage child health. Just make sure they drink enough water daily and stay hydrated.
