Capsule Kidney Adipose

The kidney adipose capsule (capsula adiposa, pna, bna, jna) is a layer of adipose tissue surrounding the kidney. It is also called perirenal fiber, perinephric fiber or paranephron.

The fatty capsule of the kidney performs a protective function - it protects the kidney from mechanical stress and injury. In addition, it is involved in fixing the kidney in the retroperitoneal space. The thickness of the fat capsule can vary depending on the amount of fat tissue in the body.

In some diseases, such as pyelonephritis, inflammation and infiltration of the fat capsule may develop. This leads to its thickening and pain on palpation. Also, the fatty capsule of the kidney can be damaged due to injury or surgery on the kidney.

ADIY KIDNEY CAPSULE - in anatomy: an organ or cellular element of fatty tissue located outside near the kidney. It exists mainly in mammals, less often in birds. The main function of the kidney is to protect the kidney from damage and chemical irritations. The appearance of the kidney fat capsule is usually associated with the fact that during embryogenesis the kidney protects itself from mechanical injuries and also acts as a barrier. The adipose capsule of the kidney is surrounded by connective tissue; there is often an accumulation of adipose tissue around it, which is multi-layered intraorgan fat. The proximity of fat cells in the area of ​​the fatty kidney provides natural nutrition to the kidney, as evidenced by the different composition of the intercellular fluid in the fatty capsule of the kidney and outside it. Thanks to this type, capsular and pararenal cells, receiving the corresponding metabolic products, carry out metabolic processes. In addition to providing the energy needs of the organ (providing the nephron with oxygen and nutrients, purifying metabolites), the kidney accumulates toxins that are deposited in the intercellular substance. In addition, the fatty capsule of the kidneys protects the kidney from infectious, mechanical and trophic damage due to the production of hormones that control the formation and functioning of the capsules. Intraorgan development and maturity of the protective perirenal layer are assessed by the thickness in the projections of the renal hilum and the adjacent triangle. The older the organism becomes, the thicker the protective capsule and the more pronounced the sclerosis of the fibrous stroma. Perinephric fat mediates the mass of perirenal fat and the topography of the kidney in the mediastinum proper. The biological significance of paranephritis of the pancreas is to provide capillary
