In contrast, on the left side the adrenal vein empties into the kidney vein, which in turn drains to the inferior vana cava. On the right side the adrenal vein empties directly into the inferior vena cava (the large vessel transporting blood from the lower body to the heart). While the arterial supply is accomplished by many small vessels, the venous drainage is only through one vein.
During the donor operation the kidney artery, kidney vein and ureter have to be interrupted as far as possible from the kidney to have sufficient length for the reconnection of these structures in the transplant operation.Īn adrenal gland is situated at the upper pole of each kidney. One attractive strategy is the use of kidneys from living donors. The success of kidney transplantation is hampered by the shortage of organs.
