layers that protect your kidney

The fibrous membrane immediately surrounding the kidney is called the renal capsule. It is a smooth, transparent sheath that helps to maintain the shape and protect the kidney.

The fiberous capsule. The perirenal fat capsule and the renal fascia don't (so far as I am aware, anyway) specificly protect the kidney from infection.renal fascia
each kidney is protected by 3 outer layers 1) the renal fascia - a tough external coat of fibrous connective tissue 2) the adipose capsule - a layer of fatty tissue 3) the renal capsule - another fibrous layer
Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.
If you have a cortical kidney cyst, it's advisable to limit foods high in sodium, as excessive salt can lead to high blood pressure and worsen kidney function. Additionally, avoid processed foods and those high in saturated fats, which can contribute to kidney strain.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dietary recommendations.
