what type of blood does the aorta carry
Unlike veins, the renal aorta delivers oxygenated blood to the kidneys. To simplify, the aorta carries blood to the kidneys while veins move the blood away. There are two notable diseases that involve the renal veins. If a clot (or thrombus) develops, this can cause renal vein thrombosis (RVT). Symptoms include a diminished flow of urine, along with blood in the urine.
