What to do if i have a question regarding the composition of the blood in the renal artery vs the renal vein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is the question: The renal artery carries blood to be filtered by the kidney. Thus, it can have differences in electrolytes, metabolites, and other substances. The kidney filters the blood, and "resets" the electrolytes. It may also remove some substances into the urine. Also, the renal vein will have less oxygen than the artery.
