The variation was bilateral (Figure 1).
Right kidney: showing congested hilum due to multiple branching pattern of renal artery (RA). AA: aberrant artery, RV: renal vein, IVC: inferior vena cava, and U: ureter.

Renal artery (RA) with its normal origin and course from abdominal aorta divided immediately into 2 branches (Figure 2).
Left kidney: showing congested hilum and distorted shape of the kidney. RA: renal artery, RV: renal vein, IVC: inferior vena cava, U: ureter, and LTV: left testicular vein.
