Inferior suprarenal artery

The inferior suprarenal artery usually originates at the trunk of the renal artery.{{Cite book|last1=Chiva|first1=Luis M.|chapter-url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978032342878100002X|title=Principles of Gynecologic Oncology Surgery|last2=Magrina|first2=Javier|publisher=Elsevier|year=2018|isbn=978-0-323-42878-1|pages=3–49|language=en|chapter=2 - Abdominal and Pelvic Anatomy|doi=10.1016/B978-0-323-42878-1.00002-X}} This is usually on its superior surface before its terminal division. It enters the parenchyma of the adrenal gland.

Variations in the interior suprarenal artery are common.{{cite journal|last=Bordei|first=P.|author2=D. Şt Antohe|author3=E. Şapte|author4=D.

More rarely, it may originate directly from the aorta. It may give off a small branch to the kidney.

There may be two or three inferior suprarenal arteries in some people. Its diameter changes significantly with age.{{cite journal|last=Toni|first=R.|author2=S. Mosca|author3=L. Favero|author4=S.

The inferior suprarenal artery supplies the adrenal gland (suprarenal gland). They also supply the ureter and some surrounding tissue and skeletal muscle.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

The inferior suprarenal artery may be affected by an aneurysm.{{Cite journal|last1=Manners|first1=James|last2=Singh|first2=Rajinder|last3=Page|first3=Andrew|last4=Adamson|first4=Andrew|last5=McLean|first5=Duncan|date=December 2010|title=Radiological treatment of a spontaneously ruptured inferior adrenal artery aneurysm|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/nrurol.2010.184|journal=Nature Reviews Urology|language=en|volume=7|issue=12|pages=694–698|doi=10.1038/nrurol.2010.184|pmid=21045799 |s2cid=20438885 |issn=1759-4820}} It may be assessed using Doppler ultrasound.{{Cite journal|last1=Fujita|first1=Yasuyuki|last2=Satoh|first2=Shoji|last3=Nakano|first3=Hitoo|date=2001-10-01|title=Doppler velocimetry in the adrenal artery in human fetuses|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378378201001967|journal=Early Human Development|language=en|volume=65|issue=1|pages=47–55|doi=10.1016/S0378-3782(01)00196-7|pmid=11520628 |issn=0378-3782}}

The inferior suprarenal artery may also be known as the inferior adrenal artery.
