Suprarenal veins

Veins to the adrenal glands

The suprarenal veins are two in number:

• the right ends in the inferior vena cava.
• the left ends in the left renal or left inferior phrenic vein.

They receive blood from the adrenal glands and will sometimes form anastomoses with the inferior phrenic veins.
