Renal disease is a major cause for consultation.
Diagnostic procedures like doppler-sonography and urography needs anatomical data of the renal vascular system. Color and pulsed-wave doppler examinations were performed an eight adult green iguana. In iguana iguana both kidneys lie completely in the pelvic cavity. The caudal third of the left and right kidney is fused and partly incorporated in the basis of the tail. Several left and right renal arteries have its origin in the abdominal aorta whereas a single median accessory renal artery entering the fused part of the kidneys has its origin in the caudal artery.
