Renal arteries deliver a high volume of systemic arterial blood to the kidneys for continuous filtration.

Filtered blood exits the kidneys via the left and right renal veins to return to the inferior vena cava.

The adrenal glands sit directly superior to the kidneys, and endocrine hormones regulate renal water and electrolyte reabsorption.
