Peroxisomes are catabolic organelles found in the cytoplasm of cells. The reason they're abundant in liver and kidney cells is because these cells have to carry out a lot of detoxification. They do it using an enzyme called catalase, which is present in peroxisomes.

Answer: Peroxisomes contain various oxidative enzymes which detoxify the toxic material. Since the blood carries various toxic substances to kidney and liver, a large number of peroxisomes are present in them to oxidise the toxic material.
