What is an avascular plane?

What is an avascular plane?

The avascular plane of Brodel is the section of renal parenchyma between 2/3 anterior and 1/3 posterior kidney on the cross-section that is relatively avascular. The reason for its relative avascularity is that it represents the plane where the anterior and posterior segmental renal artery branches meet.

Which part of kidney is avascular?

Conclusions. The renal avascular plane is always consistent at level of the middle segment of the kidney, about 2 cm medially to the convex border, while the variability may occur at level of the apical superior or inferior segments.

How does the kidney supply blood?

Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.

What arteries supply kidneys?

Oxygenated blood comes to the kidneys from the right and left renal arteries off the abdominal aorta. Deoxygenated blood leaves the kidneys via the right and left renal veins that run into to the inferior vena cava.

What happens when there is decreased blood flow to the kidneys?

Narrowing of the arteries prevents normal amounts of oxygen-rich blood from reaching your kidneys. Your kidneys need adequate blood flow to help filter waste products and remove excess fluids. Reduced blood flow to your kidneys may injure kidney tissue and increase blood pressure throughout your body.

In which plane of section will you cut the kidney?

Part (c.) Right and Left Kidneys. In order to see both the left and right kidneys, the frontal plane would be used. Both the kidneys would be present in the posterior portion, as they are positioned more to the back of the body.

Does blood go from the liver to the kidney?

Waste or stuff your body doesn’t need can be carried by bile back into the intestine and out of the body when you poop. Other waste processed by the liver goes through your blood to your kidneys and out in your pee.

What causes dilation of the renal pelvis?

Hydronephrosis occurs when there is either a blockage of the outflow of urine, or reverse flow of urine already in the bladder (called reflux) that can cause the renal pelvis to become enlarged.

What is the avascular plane of Brodel?

Relative paucity of blood vessels in the posterior aspect of the renal parenchyma, creates the so-called “avascular plane of Brodel”. This plane is located just posterior to the lateral convex border of the kidney.

Where is the Brodel plane of the renal artery?

The renal artery divides into anterior and posterior branches. Relative paucity of blood vessels in the posterior aspect of the renal parenchyma, creates the so-called “avascular plane of Brodel”. This plane is located just posterior to the lateral convex border of the kidney.

What is the Brodel’s line?

The Brodel’s line is a relatively avascular line between the anterior and posterior segmental branches of the renal artery of the body.
