Renal arteries are found in the renal helium.

The renal vein, which then joins to the Inferior Vena Cava
As with all blood vessels, the renal artery has a layer called the tunica media, which is usually rich in vascular smooth muscle.
The fat-filled cavities just inside the kidney's hilum are called renal sinus. They house the renal artery, renal vein, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and renal pelvis. The fat in this area helps provide cushioning and support for these structures.
The hilum is a structural feature found in various organs, notably the lungs and kidneys. In the lungs, it is the region where the bronchi, blood vessels, and nerves enter and exit the lung tissue. In the kidneys, the hilum is the area where the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter connect to the kidney. It serves as a critical entry and exit point for important structures, facilitating their function within the organ.
The renal hilum is a structure found posterior to the renal vascular pedicle. It is the area where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and ureter exit the kidney.

hilum
The hilum is the convergence of all the veins, arteries, and nerves entering the organ while the pelvis is the convergence of the major calyxes in the kidney.
Through the hilum
The tube connecting the renal hilus of the kidney to the bladder is the ureter. In the renal hilum the ureter, renal blood vessels and nerves enter or exit the kidney.
aorta
The renal hilus, also known as the renal hilum, is the concave area on the medial border of the kidney where the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter enter and exit the kidney. It serves as the entry and exit point for blood vessels and structures connecting the kidney to the rest of the urinary system.
The kidney has two main poles: the renal hilum and the renal pelvis. The renal hilum is the entry and exit point for blood vessels, nerves, and the ureter, located on the concave side of the kidney. The renal pelvis, situated at the medial aspect, collects urine from the kidney's calyces before it moves into the ureter. Additionally, the kidney has an upper (superior) pole and a lower (inferior) pole, which refer to the anatomical ends of the kidney's elongated shape.
Blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and the ureter enter and leave through the hilum of the kidney.
