- Abstract
Introduction: The kidneys receive their most cranial branches and these are said to be permanent renal arteries. The permanent mesonephric arteries other than renal arteries are inferior phrenic, gonadal, and middle suprarenal arteries. Due to the continuous changing blood supply during the ascend of kidney, there is a high incidence of variations. In its course, renal artery divides into anterior and posterior division. Considering the division pattern, a common variant is when the main renal artery divides before it reaches the renal hilum. Aim: The aim of the present study is to analyze the different type of origin of the anterior division of renal artery in kidney donors. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 99 computed tomography (CT) angiogram images were analyzed in workstation. The study group was drawn from kidney donors who approached the scan center had no diseases related to kidney. Results: In the 99 donors (198 kidneys) of the present study, the anterior divisions of the renal artery show that Type 1 is more frequent in the right side (46 kidneys) than left (34 kidneys). On the right side, Type 1 is more frequent in female (51%). On the left side, type 1 is more frequent in female (37.7%). Conclusion: The CT angiographic study of renal arterial pattern is considered important for potential renal donors before renal transplantation and intrarenal surgeries.
