[The presence of arteriovenous anastomoses in the human kidney].
The microscopic observation of serial sections obtained from normal human kidneys allowed to demonstrate the presence of arteriovenous anastomoses in the juxtamedullary cortex. In particular one section is shown which clearly presents an anastomotic channel along with its connections to both an afferent arteriole and a venule.
