Abstract
Study of renal artery variations and determine the pattern and incidence of renal vessels variation in Saudi Arabia in the period from February 2021 to April 2021. The sample size of this study was 50 individuals (100 kidneys). The mean ± STD for age was 44.84± 18.38, for right kidney length and width was 8.63±1.84 and 4.62±0.71, for left kidney length and width was 8.84±2.02 and 4.89±1.53. for right renal artery length and width was 5.41±1.42 and 1.57±2.21, for right renal vein length and width was 3.92±1.47 and 1.52±1.26. for left renal artery length and width was 4.66±1.68 and 1.31±1.23, for left renal vein length and width was 7.19±1.54 and 1.51±0.69. Analysis of variance for patients age with measurements information's, were the p.value showed no significant difference between the patients age with right kidney length (p.value = 0.547), and left renal length and width (0.999) and (0.897), the right renal length for artery and vein showed no significant difference with age (0.370 and 0.405). for left renal artery length and vein length and width showed no significant difference with age where the p.value was (0.82, 0.117). while p.value show significant difference between the patients age with right kidney width, right kidney artery width, right renal vein width, left renal artery width and left renal vein width were the p.value was 0.035, 0.003, 0.000, 0.021 and 0.019. The study concluded that the renal arteries present a broad spectrum of variability in Saudi Arabia in their morphological expression regarding their length, level of ramification, diameter and entrance to the kidney parenchyma.
