title: [Anatomical notes on the capsular veins of the kidney of the cat].
abstract: Capsular veins of 36 kidneys in cat (Felis domestica) have been investigated on macroscopical level. There are venous shunts on the superficial renal level which occur in both surfaces (dorsal and ventral) and different pathways of these vessels for comparative diagnosis. The collateral renal circulation may be sufficient to maintain the renal vascularization in stress conditions.
