AB  - The  renal  vasculature  is  unusually  complex  with  rich  arteriolar  flow  to  the  cortex  in  excess  of  metabolic  requirements,  consistent  with  its  primary  function  as  a  filtering  organ.  After  delivering  blood  to  cortical  glomeruli,  the  postglomerular  circulation  supplies  deeper  medullary  segments  that  support  energy-dependent  solute  transport  at  multiple  levels  of  the  renal  tubule.  These  postglomerular  vessels  carry  less  blood,  and  high  oxygen  consumption  leaves  the  deeper  medullary  regions  at  the  margin  of  hypoxemia.  Vascular  disorders  that  commonly  threaten  the  blood  supply  of  the  kidney  include  large-vessel  atherosclerosis,  fibromuscular  diseases,  and  embolic  disorders.  Microvascular  injury,  including  inflammatory  and  primary  hematologic  disorders,  is  described  in  Chap.  311.
