kidney's
Blood filter's possessive
Kidney's is the possessive form of kidney, the bean-shaped organ that filters blood and produces urine.
The form indicates belonging: the kidney's function, each kidney's filtration rate.
In casual speech, people often use "kidney" as an adjective instead: kidney function rather than the kidney's function.
