Perinephric stranding is generally indicative of inflammation or edema around the kidney, often associated with conditions such as pyelonephritis or renal abscess. While it itself does not directly damage the kidney, it can signal underlying issues that may affect kidney function if not addressed. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent potential complications. Therefore, while perinephric stranding is not inherently "bad," it warrants medical evaluation.

How do you treat perinephric stranding?
Stranding of perinephric fat is defined as linear areas of soft tissue attenuation in the perinephric space, which can result from any acute process or injury to the kidney. When unilateral perinephric stranding is identified it is most frequently the result of calyceal rupture or perinephric inflammation. Perinephric stranding is probably the manifestation of increased pressure in the collecting system in the early phase of ureteral obstruction. Perinephric stranding is easily identified on Spiral CT and less commonly seen on IVP.
What is perinephric stranding and fluid around kidney?
Perinephric stranding refers to the appearance of linear or streaky areas of increased attenuation around the kidney on imaging studies, often indicating inflammation or edema in the surrounding tissues. Fluid around the kidney, or perinephric fluid, may signify various conditions, such as infection (e.g., pyelonephritis), trauma, or malignancy. The presence of both findings can suggest a pathological process affecting the kidney, requiring further evaluation and management.
Can perinephric stranding be seen on ultrasound?
Yea
What is mild nonspecific perinephric stranding?
Mild nonspecific perinephric stranding refers to a subtle increase in echogenicity or density around the kidney observed in imaging studies, such as ultrasound or CT scans. This finding is often associated with inflammation, edema, or other benign conditions, but it is not specific to any one diagnosis. It may indicate a mild inflammatory process or a reaction to nearby pathology, and typically warrants further evaluation if accompanied by other concerning symptoms. However, in many cases, it can be an incidental finding without clinical significance.
What are renal and perinephric abcesses?
Renal abscess is a collection of pus within the kidney, typically caused by a bacterial infection. Perinephric abscess is an abscess that forms in the tissue surrounding the kidney. Both conditions usually present with symptoms such as fever, flank pain, and urinary symptoms, and require prompt medical treatment.
