Abstract :

Kidneys are supplied by renal arteries anch from abdominal aorta. Present study aim was to find anatomical variations in renal arteries and their clinical correlation. We studied 20 formaline fixed on 40 kidneys during routine abdominal dissection in our department during the period of 8 months. Superior polar artery was observed in 20% kidneys and inferior polar artery was observed in 9.7%. A thorough knowledge of the accessory renal arteries has grown in importance with the increasing number of renal transplantation, different urological procedure and also to the uroradiologist.
