What is it about?
The origin of renal arteries, vessel diameter, and point of entry to the kidney has all been analyzed as potential parameters which are clinically relevant issue. This anatomical feature may be essential for fully understanding the process of renal perfusion, as it is not only the number of renal arteries that influences the extent of renal blood supply, but also their diameter. The aberrant renal arteries that supply the inferior pole are more important because it provides arterial supply to the proximal part of the ureter. This study aims to identify the influences and prevalence of aberrant renal arteries in kidney donors’ cases to perform the role of the aberrant renal artery. Prevalence of aberrant renal artery was identified in 26.3% of the cases, the incidence was more frequent on the left than right side; about 78.7 % of cases presented unilaterally. In the remaining cases, 21.2 % were RAs shown bilaterally. The diameter of primary RA in the kidney presenting the RA was 5.73 mm and that of the kidney with only a single renal artery was 6.19 mm.

Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long-standing collaborations. This article also leads to donor groups contacting me and, ultimately, greater involvement in rare disease research.
