“…Tuteja et al recently reported a case of five RAs found in a living kidney donor during preparation for transplantation to a nineyear-old girl with a single dysplastic kidney and chronic kidney disease. This anatomical variation led to the deferral of transplantation to the young girl [4]. Zăhoi et al described a case of right renal ectopia with malrotation and bilateral triple RAs, all originating from the abdominal aorta, on CT angiography in a 64year-old male patient [16].…”

Variation in the number of renal arteries is rare and is the most frequent and clinically important variation in the renal vascular system. Typically, this variant represents an immature form of complicated development of the renal arteries resulting from the persistence of more than one mesonephric artery during the transition period from mesonephros to metanephros in embryogenesis. The knowledge of this anatomical variation will allow the best healthcare to be provided for patients undergoing kidney surgical procedures and may reduce or eliminate avoidable postoperative complications. Although a double renal artery consists of a common anatomical variation, three or more arteries in a single kidney is less common. Herein, we report a case of a 42-year-old healthy cadaveric donor whose left kidney was found to have three renal arteries.

“…During the fetal period, multiple mesonephric arteries deliver blood to the kidney. Typically, one mesonephric artery persists and becomes the RA while the persistence of multiple mesonephric arteries can result in multiple RAs [4].…”

“…V ASCULAR variants are the most frequent anatomic variants that are found during kidney transplant surgery; among vascular anatomic variants, the arterial variants are the most common [1]. During intrauterine growth, the kidney is vascularized by multiple arterial branches of mesonephric derivation; subsequently, normally only 1 remains which becomes the renal artery; the presence of multiple arterial branches results from the persistence of the mesonephric vessels typical at the time of fetal development [2,3]. Atherosclerotic disease is very common in the patient dialyzed for chronic renal failure.…”
