The arcuate vein is a vessel of the renal circulation. It is located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.^{[citation needed]} Arcuate veins pass around the renal pyramids at the border between the renal cortex and renal medulla in an arch shape.^[1] Arcuate veins receive blood from cortical radiate veins, and in turn deliver blood into the arcuate veins.^[2]
