Anatomical terminology
[edit on Wikidata]
The renal veins in the renal circulation, are large-calibre[1] veins that drain blood filtered by the kidneys into the inferior vena cava. There is one renal vein draining each kidney.[citation needed] Each renal vein is formed by the convergence of the interlobar veins of one kidney.[2]
Because the inferior vena cava is on the right half of the body, the left renal vein is longer than the right one.
