If a kidney is "fat" it is inflamed or swollen probably from infection or some

type of growth in your kidney. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. They could be overworked and damaged too.
