The renal artery is a short paired artery that arises from the lateral aspect of the aorta. Its location is in the retroperitoneum, where it courses laterally towards the hilum of the kidney posterior to the renal veins, nerves and the pancreas. The renal artery gives off several small branches before dividing into its terminal anterior and posterior branches in the hilum of the kidney.
