The arcuate vein is a vessel of the renal circulation. It is located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}} Arcuate veins pass around the renal pyramids at the border between the renal cortex and renal medulla in an arch shape.{{Cite book |title=Sobotta Anatomy Textbook: English Edition with Latin Nomenclature |date= |publisher=Elsevier |year=2018 |isbn=978-0-7020-6760-0 |editor-last=Waschke |editor-first=Jens |edition=1st |location=München |pages=357 |editor-last2=Böckers |editor-first2=Tobias M. |editor-last3=Paulsen |editor-first3=Friedrich |editor-last4=Arnold |editor-first4=Wolfgang |editor-last5=Bechmann |editor-first5=Ingo}} Arcuate veins receive blood from cortical radiate veins, and in turn deliver blood into the arcuate veins.{{Cite book |last=Martini |first=Frederic |title=Human Anatomy |last2=Tallitsch |first2=Robert B. |last3=Nath |first3=Judi L. |publisher=Pearson |year=2017 |isbn=9780134320762 |edition=9th |pages=689}}
