Evaluation of the incidence of renal vein anomalies and their relationship with renal stone disease and renal tumors by abdominal multidetector computed tomography

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the types and incidence of renal vein anomaly (RVA) and their relationship with renal stone disease and renal tumors with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Materials and Methods: We evaluated retrospectively 10124 patients abdominal MDCT images. After the exclusion criteria, the final study population consisted of 9294 patients. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the presence of RVA, the presence of renal stone disease and renal tumor were recorded. RVAs were separated into three subgroups: retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV), circumaortic left renal vein (CLRV), and double right renal vein (DRRV). The presence of renal stone disease and renal tumors were recorded in patients with RVAs. Results: 1389 cases had RVA (14.9%). RVA was higher in males than females. The prevalence of DRRV, RLRV, and CLRV were 9.5%, 3.9%, and 1.9%, respectively. Renal tumors was detected in 20, and renal stone disease was detected in 243 of 1389 RVA cases, there was no statistically significant correlation. However, a statistically significant correlation was found between left renal stone disease with RLRV and CRLV. Conclusion: Contrary to popular belief, RVAs are not uncommon. It is very important to know the presence of RVA before retroperitoneal surgery to prevent possible complications. In addition, RLRV and CLRV are thought to be factors that predispose to the development of left renal stone disease.
