Anatomical Study of Variations in the Blood Supply of Kidneys
Background: Each kidney is supplied by a single renal artery and a single renal vein, which accounts for about 20% of the cardiac output. However, variations in the form of level of origin and arrangement of renal arteries are so frequent. Aim: The present study aimed to note the vascular anatom...

| description | Background: Each kidney is supplied by a single renal artery
and a single renal vein, which accounts for about 20% of the
cardiac output. However, variations in the form of level of origin
and arrangement of renal arteries are so frequent.
Aim: The present study aimed to note the vascular anatomy of
kidneys with respect to the variations in their origin, course and
any aberrant vessels which were present.
Materials and Methods: The study material comprised of 15
formalin fixed human cadavers. During routine abdominal dissection for undergraduate students, the kidneys were exposed
and the blood supply, along with its variations, were noted.
Results: The following anatomical findings are observed in this
study: (i) Accessory renal arteries (ii) Presegmental arteries (iii)
Upper polar arteries (iv) Lower polar arteries (v) Inferior suprarenal
artery from accessory renal artery and (vi) Accessory renal vein.
Conclusion: Awareness of the normal as well variational anatomy
is mandatory for the surgeons, radiologists and urologists, for
doing any uroradiological procedures or angiographic studies.
Hence, this study will serve a useful guideline for the above
mentioned procedures. |
