Detailed explanation-1: -The renal vein takes purified blood away from the kidney to reach the inferior vena cava. There are two renal veins in the human body. The inferior vena cava is the largest vein that pours deoxygenated blood into the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood comes to the kidneys from the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava, the large arteries and veins that are part of the ascending aorta. Oxygenated blood is brought to the kidneys from a small branch called the renal artery.
