Background:The renal vasculature refers to the network of blood vessels that supply the kidneys. The present study was conducted to evaluate variation of renal vasculature. Materials & Methods:44 formalin fixed human cadavers of both genders were selected. The renal arteries were observed according to their number (sum of renal arteries originating from the aorta) and early segmental and extra hilar branches of the main renal artery on each kidney. Results: In right kidney, single renal artery was seen in 22 and multiple in 22 cases and in left kidney, single renal artery was seen in 24 and multiple in 20 cases. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Multiple renal arteries in right kidney and left kidneywas double hilar arteries in 8 and 7, three hilar arteries in 5 and 4, hilar and superior polar artery in 4 and 5 and hilar and inferior polar artery in 5 in right and 6 in left kidney respectively. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Extra hilar superior polar artery in right kidney was 8 and in left kidney was 7 and extra hilar inferior polar artery in right kidney was 5 and in left kidney was 1 in number. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: The vascularization of the kidney varies anatomically in a wide range of ways. The most frequent occurrence is the presence of many renal arteries. Knowledge of these differences is essential for urological procedures, renal transplant surgery, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, and angiographic procedures. |
