A Study of Early Division of Renal Artery and their Incidence.

ABSTRACT

The knowledge of arterial supply of the human kidney is of special interest as it is not only having many morphological variations buy also many vascular surgeries are carried out in case of renal artery. The present study was done in 50 embalmed cadavers during the period of one year. We found variations in the form of the number of renal artery supplying the kidney, its level of origin, relation with the renal vein, branching pattern. Knowledge of these variations may help to avoid the clinical complications especially during radiological examinations and/or surgical approaches in this region.
