Interlobular vein of left kidney
Vena interlobularis renis sinistri
- Latin synonym: Vena corticalis radiata renis sinistri

Definition
In the kidney, the blood drainage starts with the peritubular plexuses that give off fine venules that form the interlobular veins of kidney. The interlobular veins anastomose with each other and drain into the arcuate veins. Further, the arcuate veins drain into the interlobar veins that merge to form a single renal vein.
