In spite of its importance as an experimental model, information on the renal artery in pigs is scarce. The objective of this work was to determine the morphological characteristics of the renal artery (RA) and its branches in pigs. One hundred and twenty one (121) pairs of kidneys of pigs destined to slaughter by stunning were studied. The RA and its branches were perfused with polyester resin (Palatal 85 % t Styrene 15 %) and subjected to KOH infusion (potassium hydroxide) for total corrosion. Calibers were measured, and trajectories and relations with adjacent arterial structures were evaluated. Continuous variables were assessed with Student's t test, and discrete variables with Pearson's chi square test. The significance level used was p
