In summary

From Ottoman Turkish بوكور (böğür, “flank, hypochondrium”), from Proto-Turkic *bögür (“kidney(s)”). The original sense was displaced by böbrek, a derivation from the same root, see further cognates there. Compare also Proto-Mongolic *böxere (“kidney(s)”), Mongolian бөөр (böör, “kidney”), possibly an early Turkic borrowing, or according to the now widely discredited Altaic theory, a cognate.
