Review of Literature

The anterior surface of the left kidney has the following relations: the highest

part of the superior pole is covered with the left suprarenal gland. The inferior portion

of the superior pole contacts with the peritoneum of the stomach medialy

and spleen lateraly (Brand et al., 2020).

Just inferior to the stomach and spleen impressions, where the left kidney

directly contacts with the pancreas. The lateral part of the inferior half is directly

associated with the left colic flexure and descending colon (Krebs et al., 2020).

The medial part of the inferior half and the inferior pole are contacted by the

peritoneum of the jejunum (Phillips et al., 2020).

1.1.4.Posterior surface relations

The posterior surfaces of both kidneys are related to certain neurovascular

structures and muscles which are subcostal artery, 11 th and 12 th ribs, subcostal,

iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal nerves, diaphragm, psoas major, quadratus lumborum and

transversus abdominis muscles (Ding et al., 2021).

The superior half of each kidney is covered by diaphragm, which is why the

kidneys move up and down during respiration (Li et al., 2020).

The muscular relations of the inferior half where the medial stripe represents the

impression of the psoas major muscle, the central represents the impression of the

quadratus lumborum muscle and the lateral represents the impression of the transversus

abdominis muscle (Shirk, 2020).

1.2.Internal anatomy

The parenchyma of the kidney consists of the outer renal cortex, and inner

renal medulla (Davies et al., 2020).
