Abstract

Perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT) has been identified as an important factor in local and general homeostasis of the human body and is especially important in regulating renal and cardiovascular functions. It has also been identified as a crucial risk factor to consider in cardiovascular and renal disorders, malignancies, and various other diseases. Having a concrete idea of the effects of therapeutic interventions on the size and metabolism of the PRAT could prove highly beneficial. This review summarizes what is known about the PRAT and provides a collection of studies on the effects of therapeutic interventions on PRAT and its related diseases. We used papers written on a variety of subjects, mainly concerning adipose tissue and the effects of therapeutic procedures on it. Our main challenge was to excerpt the information specifically related to the PRAT in these papers. These effects vary greatly, from an increase or decrease in mass or size of the PRAT to changes in metabolism and drug residue accumulation. The current studies often fail to consider PRAT as an individual subject of research and only examine the adipose tissue of the entire body as a whole. This leads us to believe this field could benefit greatly from further research. © 2024 Indian Journal of Nephrology.
