CHAPTER

The Role of Visceral Fat in Kidney Disease

There is a link between visceral fat and the infiltration of fat into the liver. Does one beget the other? How does that work? "One does start first in the earliest expression of disease," he says. Kids today are filled, not necessarily... They have within them a visceral fat,. And there is probably a genetic contributory role."

What about the organ crowding? Yeah. So, you know, just by physical proximity to this inflammatory substance, you have the contribution of this inflammation directly on the organs that viscera fat is surrounding. So these are really critical organs. So you got all your internal organs within your abdominal peritoneal cavity, but also a type of viscera fat but not included within the peritoneum is the cardiac fat, cardio fat, fat around the heart. And so we see as viscera fat is eliminating fat around the heart is also limiting. When I scan people for their abdominal scans, I have them scan up high enough into the abdomen that we can catch the lower half of the heart, and we see its connection to viscera fat. It's just this continuity right up into the thoracic cavity. Your liver, your gall glider, your critical disease, you really... Is there a link between visceral fat and the infiltration of fat into the liver? Does one beget the other? Does one start first? How does that work? Yeah, so that's a great question. So by all means, one does start first in the earliest expression of disease that we found in every single human being that we scan was visceral fat. It starts in your childhood. So kids today are filled, not necessarily... They have within them a visceral fat, and of course is relative to the particular child, their lifestyle, their diet, how much they're going to have. And there is probably a genetic contributory role, but more than genetics, it's lifestyle, what kind of a life you're living. Kids...
