The kidneys in most mammals are enclosed in fat primarily for protective and insulating purposes. The fat layer, known as perirenal fat, cushions the kidneys against physical trauma and helps maintain their position within the abdominal cavity. Additionally, the fat serves as an energy reserve and aids in thermoregulation, helping to keep the kidneys at a stable temperature. This protective adaptation is crucial for the kidneys' vital role in filtering blood and maintaining homeostasis.

What purpose does kidney fat serve?
The fat the surrounds the kidney has a very importance purpose. It protects the kidney from damage and harm such as punctures.
What are the protective layers of renal tissue from the layer next to the kidney to the most outer layer?
The protective layers of renal tissue, from the layer next to the kidney to the most outer layer, include the renal capsule, which is a thin fibrous layer directly covering the kidney. Outside the renal capsule is the perirenal fat, providing cushioning and insulation. Beyond the perirenal fat is the renal fascia, a connective tissue layer that anchors the kidney to surrounding structures. Finally, the most outer layer is the pararenal fat, which surrounds the renal fascia and further protects the kidney.
