The kidneys do not have any skeletal muscle tissue but there is smooth muscle in the blood vessels contained in the kidney. So technically, kidneys have some muscle tissue or cells. The kidneys are a complex organ with many types of cells including epithelial cells that make up the tubules of the filtration system, interstitial cells that fill the spaces between the tubules, mesangial cells which are located at the junction between the vascular and tubule system and then of course the cells that make up the arteries and veins including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and adventitial fibrobalst cells.
