The renal fascia is a dense, elastic connective tissue envelope enclosing the kidney and adrenal gland , together with the layer of perirenal fat surrounding these two.[1]
The renal fascia separates the adipose capsule of kidney from the overlying pararenal fat . The deeper layers deep to the renal fascia are, in order, the adipose capsule (or perirenal fat), the renal capsule and finally the parenchyma of the renal cortex .[2] renal hilum , the renal capsule extends into the renal sinus .[1]
The renal fascia was originally described as consisting of two distinct structures: the anterior renal fascia (Gerota's fascia), and posterior renal fascia (Zuckerkandl's fascia); these two fasciae were said to fuse laterally to form the lateroconal fascia. Understanding of the structure of the renal fascia has subsequently evolved.[1]
