Morphology
The meaning 'a medical condition affecting the kidneys' is directly and compositionally derived from 'kidney' (the organ) + 'disease' (a condition disrupting bodily functions). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Kidney disease comes from the words kidney, the part of the body that cleans the blood, and disease, meaning 'illness'. It literally names an 'illness' of the kidneys, so it means the kidneys are damaged or not working properly.
