The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found on the left and right sides of the body. They filter the blood in order to make urine, to release and retain water, and to remove waste and nitrogen (the excretory system).

Acquisition

Summary

A human requires 1 kidney to live. Each kidney accounts for 50% of a person's Blood Filtration. Blood Filtration itself affects Consciousness and Immunity Gain Speed; a completely removed kidney reduces Consciousness by 5% and Immunity Gain Speed by 25%. The Conciousness penalty reduces a variety of pawn capabilities.

Carcinoma, one form of tumor cancer, weakens blood filtration. Kidneys can also be damaged from physical injuries.

Installation

Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

Removing the part requires ? of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of ?.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance^{[What Chance?]} to be destroyed.

Analysis

Immunity Gain Speed is helpful to survive infections and other diseases; if it is 58% or lower, such as from two damaged kidneys, then even the Flu will be invariably fatal. Thus, it is recommended to replace damaged, destroyed or missing kidneys on valuable colonists as soon as possible.

Harvesting from your own pawns is not recommended, so take from your prisoners or guests. For most pawns, the mood penalty of organ harvest is worth replacing the organ, but this may not apply to more disposable pawns.

Trade

Each kidney is worth 250 silver. While lungs are worth more than kidneys, you can harvest both a kidney and a lung without killing a pawn. If the mood penalties don't concern you (or don't exist due to Ideoligion), you can harvest 1 kidney, 1 lung, and 1 heart/liver before a pawn dies. This can extract a lot of value without waiting for a slave trader. You can also harvest a kidney and lung, then donate the prisoner to a Royal Tribute Collector without a reduction to honor.
