The understanding of vascular anatomy of kidneys has gained remarkable significance in both medical and surgical disciplines. The science of renal transplantation intensifies a need for recognizing the variation in renal vascular anatomy in different population and ethnicities. CT angiography is a less invasive modality for assessing the renal vascular anatomy of potential kidney donors as not every healthy person wishing to donate kidney is a suitable candidate for this highly specialized procedure. Difficulty in surgical anastomosis of vessels has been reported because of anatomical complexity. There is diversity in anatomical variation in different population, ethnic group and geography. In Kenya not much work has been done in this area using living donors. | The CT angiographic prevalence of renal accessory arteries in Kenya
