The blood vessel that follows the renal artery is the renal vein. The renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys, while the renal vein drains deoxygenated blood away from the kidneys and returns it to the inferior vena cava. The renal vein typically runs parallel to the renal artery, but they may have different anatomical paths as they approach the heart.
The renal artery - "renal" being the Latin word for kidney.
The medical term "renal" refers to the kidneys, so a renal artery would be an artery (a type of blood vessel which oxygenated blood travels through) that leads to the kidneys and supplies them with blood.

The renal artery brings blood to the kidney.
Renal means related to the kidney. For instance, the renal artery is the blood vessel that serves the kidney.
The vessel is most likely an artery. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to various tissues in the body, including the kidneys. The presence of renal corpuscles (where blood filtration occurs) on one side of the vessel indicates that the artery is transporting blood to the kidney for filtration.
The renal artery brings oxygenated blood under high pressure to the kidney, where it branches into smaller vessels to deliver blood to the nephrons for filtration.
The renal artery carries blood into the kidneys while the renal vein drains the blood.
The renal artery supplies blood to the renal system, or the kidneys. The renal artery differ with the renal vein in containing the less concentration of co2 and more concentration of urea
