"Water on the kidney" is the literal translation of the medical term hydronephrosis. That's a misnomer, however, because the condition has nothing to do with water. In hydronephrosis, there is often an obstruction in the ureter, bladder, or urethra that prevents urine from emptying out of the kidney. Pressure backs-up as a result, causing the kidney to swell with urine. A common cause is a large kidney stone that prevents proper drainage of the kidney.

If a kidney is dropped in tap water, it will likely absorb water due to osmosis, potentially leading to swelling and damage to the tissue. The cells in the kidney may burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high. Additionally, exposure to water can introduce bacteria and other contaminants that may further compromise the kidney's integrity. Overall, the kidney would not remain viable for any medical use after such an exposure.
