The answer to your question is NO. A balloon may be ‘popped’ releasing air. A pimple may be ‘popped’ releasing it’s content. Cysts on kidneys may be ‘popped’. Kidneys however, are not ‘popped’. Kidneys may be injured by damage to the blood vessels that supply or drain them. This may be in the form of aneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, arterial blockage, or renal vein thrombosis. The extent of bleeding depends on the location and the degree of injury. Kidneys may also bleed profusely if they are damaged centrally (on the inside) -- this is a life-threatening injury. Fortunately, most kidney injuries caused by blunt trauma occur peripherally, only causing bruising of the kidney (usually a self-limiting process). Other causes of kidney injury and bleeding are medical procedures. Kidney biopsies, nephrostomy tube placements, or other surgeries can cause an abnormal connection between an artery and vein (arteriovenous fistula). This is usually a self-limiting problem, but close observation is usually needed. Injury to the kidney can also disrupt the urinary tract, causing leakage of the urine from the kidney. Each kidney filters about 1700 liters of blood per day and concentrates fluid and waste products into about 1 liter of urine per day. Because of this, the kidneys receive more exposure to toxic substances in the body than almost any other organ. Therefore, they are highly susceptible to injury from toxic substances. It is also possible for a kidney to be ruptured. This is often an emergency situation.
Hope this helps

I don't think it's a stupid question. I have often wondered that myself. I do know that you can die from water intoxication, but I have never heard of anyone's kidney popping. I just looked it up here and for the most part anything to do with Renal rupture is more along the lines of arteries and tumors rupturing before the kidney ever does. I guess it would be like a relief valve but much more painful, requiring surgery to repair.

I do know that your kidneys can drop and brea, no kidding. One of the main killers of anorexic women is that they don't have enough fat, and the fat that cushions the organs goes away, and when your kidneys have no fat around them they can drop within you body, in some ways "popping" it, but it is just more damage than anything. That is why we have to have some sort of fat in our daily diets! Your kidneys can rupture and that is proabbly what your friend means by pop!

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

You can rupture but not "pop" a kidney.
