PY - 2011 T2 - Venous and Lymphatic Diseases AB - Diseases of the renal veins, as with other diseases of the venous system, tend to be forgotten in the study of both renal disease and peripheral vascular disease. The full functional impact of renal venous disease remains to be established; however, adequate experience with anatomic derangements in the renal venous system has led to some appreciation of the importance of the "passive" side of renal circulation. As a part of the deep venous system, the renal veins may suffer from thrombosis in a similar fashion as other manifestations of venothromboembolic disease. Renal venous thrombosis, however, is the predominant primary disease of the renal veins. The other syndromes—renal venous tumors, renal vein entrapment, and renal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)—result more from the anatomic environment the renal veins are surrounded by (i.e., in these disease processes, the renal veins tend to be injured as bystanders in local pathology). Finally, increasing interest is developing on functional disease of the renal venous system, primarily in the form of renal venous congestion.
