Abstract

Introduction: Renal artery is paired lateral branch of the abdominal aorta, it variates in number and origin from the abdominal aorta.

Aims and objectives: This study was conducted to study and identify the incidences of renal artery variation.

Material and Methods: 50 kidneys of 25 formalin fixed cadavers were dissected to study the renal artery.

Observations and Results: 48% (24 out of 50 kidneys) were with single renal artery and 52% (26 out of 50 kidneys) were with multiple renal arteries.

Summary and Conclusion: Renal artery variation is critical for interventions like renal artery angiogram, renal transplantation and renal surgeries, therefore the results of the studies are important for surgeon and clinicians.

Keywords:  Renal Artery, Hilar artery, Superior Polar artery, Inferior Polar artery.
