Renal

Same in English and Spanish I believe.

renal failure --- insuficiencia renal

Renal, que pertenece a los riñones.

Renal, belonging to the kidneys.

Tienes razón, Sombrío, el adjetivo es "renal". Decimos "problemas renales" o, simplemente, "problemas del riñón" :) - Cordobesa, Feb 24, 2012

There is no adjective. It´s just "problemas con el hígado."

I have always confused these two organs, as they seem to do similar jobs. My only success in medical school was learning to write a prescription from a golf course while making tons of money for doing basically nothing for a patient - 005faa61, Feb 28, 2012
