42. A 25-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-week history of left flank pain. She has had progressive weakness and decreased appetite during this period. Her temperature is 38°C (100.4°F). Physical examination shows left flank tenderness. Laboratory studies show a leukocyte count of 18,500/mm³. Urinalysis shows numerous RBCs and WBCS. A CT scan of the abdomen confirms an abscess of the lower pole of the left kidney. Which of the following is most likely preventing the spread of the infection to the surrounding organs? A) Fatty layer (Camper fascia) of the abdominal tela subcutanea B) Greater omentum C) Membranous layer (Scarpa fascia) of the abdominal tela subcutanea D) Pararenal fascia E) Perirenal (Gerota) fascia
