Renal fascia
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The perirenal fascia is a dense, elastic connective tissue sheath that envelops each kidney and adrenal gland together with a layer of surrounding perirenal fat.
It is a multi-laminated structure which is fused posteromedially with the muscular fasciae of the psoas and quadratus lumborum muscles. It extends anterolaterally behind the kidney as a bileaved layer, which then divides into two perirenal fasciae that pass in front of and behind the kidney:
- Gerota's fascia: a thin lamina that passes around the front of the kidney and variably interleaves with the opposite anterior fascia
- Zuckerkandl's fascia: a thicker posterior fascia which continues anterolaterally as the lateroconal fascia and fuses with the parietal peritoneum
