The main objective of this work is to describe the morphology and vascularization of the ostrich kidney, making it possible to compare it with the domestic rooster, duck and goose kidney with that bird. The morphological study shows that these kidneys have a cranial lobe, a middle lobe and a caudal lobe. sciatic artery. The venous system corresponds to the renal portal system, which presents two amastomoses, in the ventral view; one occurs at the interposition of the middle lobe with the caudal lobe, and another located in the cranial lobe; the veins that drain the lobes are: cranial renal vein, middle renal vein and caudal renal vein.
