Abstract

Background: Kidneys are retroperitoneal organs normally supplied by the paired renal arteries. The aim of present study is to determine prevalence of multiple renal arteries in Indian population and provide their embryological and clinical correlation. Materials and Methods: The formalin fixed forty two cadavers constituted the material for study. During routine abdominal dissection conducted for medical undergraduates at Department of Anatomy, kidneys along with their arteries were explored and the morphological variations of renal arteries were noted. Results: We observed multiple renal arteries originating from abdominal aorta in 54.7% cases which includes Double hilar arteries(22.6%), Three hilar arteries(11.8%), hilar and superior polar (13.1%), hilar and inferior polar artery (7.1%). Conclusion: Awareness of variations of renal artery is necessary for surgical management during renal transplantation; repair of abdominal aorta aneurysm, urological procedures and for angiographic interventions.
