Suprarenal veins
(Redirected from Venae suprarenales)
Suprarenal veins are veins that drain blood from the adrenal glands. They are part of the venous system and play a crucial role in the body's endocrine system.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "suprarenal" is derived from the Latin words "supra," meaning "above," and "renal," meaning "related to the kidneys." Thus, "suprarenal" refers to the location of these veins above the kidneys.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The suprarenal veins, also known as adrenal veins, are paired veins with one present for each adrenal gland. The right suprarenal vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava, while the left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the suprarenal veins is to carry deoxygenated blood away from the adrenal glands. These glands produce several vital hormones, including cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. After these hormones are released into the bloodstream, the blood is returned to the heart via the suprarenal veins.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Abnormalities or diseases of the suprarenal veins can lead to various health problems. For instance, a thrombosis in a suprarenal vein can cause adrenal insufficiency, a condition characterized by fatigue, body aches, and skin discoloration. Additionally, suprarenal vein aneurysms, although rare, can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding if they rupture.
