OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a risk factor of chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributing to the rising incidence of cardiometabolic diseases. Renal sinus fat (RSF) is an ectopic fat depot located at the renal cavity that could impair renal function and hemodynamic through compression of renal structures. The major purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between RSF accumulation and renal dysfunction in CKD patients.

METHODS: We evaluated the associations between computed tomography measured RSF volume and key clinical and histologic parameters involved in renal function and hemodynamics in 132 well-characterized CKD patients who underwent renal biopsy (median age: 62 years; 63.6% men).

RESULTS: RSF volume normalized by renal volume (RSF%) positively correlated with obesity-related traits such body mass index and visceral fat volume (VFV) (all P < 0.001) whereas it negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (ρ = -0.42, P < 0.001) and 24-h urinary creatinine clearance (CCr) (ρ = -0.34, P < 0.001). Notably, we found robust positive correlations between RSF% and renal resistive index (RRI) measured by the Doppler ultrasound (ρ = 0.40, P < 0.001), and the histological severity of global glomerular sclerosis (ρ = 0.48, P < 0.001) and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) (ρ = 0.35, P < 0.001). In the multivariate linear regression models, after accounting for potential confounders including VFV, RSF% remained significantly associated with CCr (β = -0.26, P < 0.001), RRI (β = 0.17, P = 0.022), global glomerular sclerosis (β = 0.21, P = 0.002), and IFTA (β = 0.17, P = 0.012).

CONCLUSION: RSF accumulation is associated with renal dysfunction and hemodynamic abnormalities independent of visceral adiposity. Our results suggest that RSF may have a potential unique role in the pathogenesis of CKD.
