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.
Yea
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.
Marine Mammal Stranding Center was created in 1978.

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.
Inflammation and fever are nonspecific immune system reactions.
Signal intensity is directly related to relative amounts of fat, water, and cells in the marrow. The words nonspecific mean that it is not pointing towards any specific medical abnormality. The mild edema means that the muscle and other tissues around this area has some water built up (edema). Your doctor should explain it to you in words you can understand.
I'm having a bit of a problem accepting your nonspecific example.

Your body's most important nonspecific defense is the skin. Other nonspecific defenses include mucus, sweat, and tears.
Specific!
