Renal sinus fat and renal hemodynamics: a cross-sectional analysis

ConclusionsIn T2D patients, higher RSF volume was negatively associated to GFR. In addition, RSF volume was positively associated with increased renal vascular resistance, which may mediate hypertension and CKD development. Further research is needed to investigate how RSF may alter the (afferent) vascular resistance of the renal vasculature.
