I googled it and came up with this:

"Indocyanine Green or ICG, a dye that has been widely used for more than 50 years to help diagnose and treat various diseases of the eye, liver and heart, is the source of the guiding fluorescence. The compound, which binds to proteins in the blood, fluoresces and becomes visible once exposed to a laser beam, demonstrating patterns of blood and lymphatic circulation. It's also very safe when injected into patients, and in fact is approved for use in pregnant women."

the article also says that the dye makes the healthy parts of the kidney glow, while the unhealthy parts (tumors and such) dont glow. therefore, the doctors can easily identify the unhealthy pieces and pick them out, leaving the healthy pieces of the kidney. preserving the kidney is essential for the future health of patients

well I've held/seen kidneys that's being taken out from body donors and they don't glow, not sure about the healthy working ones though.

I think u have to add some chemicals or whatever to make it glow.
