Perirenal Fat and Kidney Function Deterioration in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The thick perirenal fat pad can induce high intracapsular pressure and cause compression of the renal vasculature and resultant congestive nephropathy. The current study investigated the association of perirenal fat thickness with kidney dysfunction in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Methods

Data from 266 patients hospitalized with ADHF were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at admission (preserved kidney function [GFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m²] and reduced kidney function [GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m²] groups). Right and left posterior perirenal fat thicknesses were measured using computed tomography, and their average values were calculated. Associated
