What would happen to a kidney's position if the perinephric fat layer were depleted and the collagen fibers of the fibrous capsule were to become detects?

Respuesta :

The kidneys could drop.

The kidneys might drop (a disease known as renal ptosis) and would no be firmly held firmly; breakage of the collagen fibers and depletion of  perinephric fat layer could generate a condition known as floating kidney, which may cause discomfort or deformation of other tissues.

Nephroptosis, often referred to as floating kidney and renal ptosis, is a disorder in which the kidney falls more than two vertebral bodies (or >5 cm) when moving from a supine to an upright posture.

Nephropexy, a surgical operation that fastens the floating kidney to the retroperitoneum, is a common treatment for this problem.
