Kidney
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Kidneys were organs located near the lower back on Humans.[1] Although naturally having both a left and right kidney,[2][3] Humans could survive with only one.[1] Kidney's could be transplanted[4] and even cloned[5] if needed.
Hitting a person in the kidneys caused extreme—often disabling—pain for the victim.[1] Older Humans often suffered from Zithrom's Disease, which resulted in shrunken kidneys, among other symptoms.[6]
Kidney stones could accumulate within the kidneys, and be passed from the body.[7]
Yuuzhan Vong typically lacked kidneys.
