cadaver kidneys
Explanation:
On a trawl through the net looking at the various options, I came across the very one you suggested!

cadaver kidneys and cadaver kidney transplants both get a good few hits on Google! Would be worth going for if the text is aimed at a medical audience. For a more general audience, I'd go with one of the other suggestions!

kidneys from the deceased


Explanation:
The transplant figures for kidneys from the deceased rose very slightly over the same period, so are stagnating somewhat.

deceased sounds a little more gentle than 'dead'.

Best I can do!

kidneys from deceased persons (or: from deceased patients, depending on context)


Explanation:
Maybe to include the word "person" would be more adequate.

Otherwise it sounds too impersonal.
