| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Background The kidneys are supplied by a single renal artery originating from abdominal aorta. However, recent literature reports great variations in renal blood supply. Hence, it becomes mandatory for the clinicians to understand the abnormality and variations in the renal vasculature. Objective To evaluate the branching pattern of renal artery and its variations. Method The study consisted of Computed Topographic images of 206 kidneys. Numbers and branching pattern of renal artery were recorded. The data was analyzed for presence or absence, source of origin and type of accessory renal artery. Result The present study revealed that 73.79% of kidneys were supplied by a single renal artery, 25.72% by double renal artery and 0.49% by triple renal artery. The hillar branching pattern was recorded in 38.83% and early branching pattern was in 34.95%. The presence of accessory renal artery was recorded in 26.21%. They were originated from abdominal aorta in 22.81% and 3.40% from main renal artery. The prevalence of superior polar artery was found in 6.79%, hilar in 10.19% and inferior polar in 9.22%. Conclusion The knowledge of variations of renal artery becomes essential for the clinician to plan the adequate surgical procedures and to avoid any vascular complication.
