The Renal Vascular System: Anatomical Considerations and Clinical Applications
摘要
The kidneys play a significant role in influencing overall body circulation and maintaining homeostasis. The renal circulation possesses distinctive anatomical and functional characteristics, and various congenital and acquired conditions can significantly affect it, potentially impacting all body systems and posing life-threatening risks. This chapter provides an overview of the key aspects of renal vascularization, covering its development, gross and microscopic anatomy, and concluding with a summary of major conditions affecting renal vascularization.
