Occurence of the variant renal blood vessels is important in cases of pathologies, radiological interventions, renal transplants, and other surgical approaches and their presence should be born in the minds of all medical fraternities . The present study was performed on twelve kidneys from six cadavers to observe the variations of the renal vasculature. Out of the twelve kidneys studied , only one kidney showed variations in renal vessels unilaterally resulting in 8.3% variation in arrangement of renal vessels. The right renal artery divided into two branches anterior and posterior before reaching the hilum out of which the anterior trifurcated in front of the renal vein while the left renal artery entered directly at hilum. The study will help the surgeons and radiologists during their interventions.
