Kidneys are pair of bean shaped organs which plays a major role in filtering of blood, removal of waste products, and maintenance of fluid balance.

Each kidney is held in place by a connective tisue called renal fascia which is surrounded by adipose tissue which helps in protection of kidney.

The concentric layers of connective tissue that protect and anchor the kidney are the renal capsule, the perinepric fat capsule or adipose capsule, and renal fascia.

The renal capsule is a tough fibrous layer covers the surface of the kidney, the perinepric fat capsule surrounds the fibrous capsule, and the renal fascia is a dense fibrous layer that anchors the kidney.
