Which word is used in Hindi for "kidney" when talking about the human body?
Frank
Hindi translation:वृक्क/गुर्दा/किडनी
Explanation:
The standard meaning in Hindi is "वृक्क" which you can see in the textbooks, but it's outdated and commonly not used, but yes it's still in the textbooks.

गुर्दा is originally an Urdu word which comes in Hindi and Punjabi, but it considers as not a formal way, it mostly uses in some very substandard texts.

But if you want to use in the colloquial or common format, you can use undoubtedly the word "किडनी" which is a transliteration of the word Kidney, it's now widely accepted and known.
