where does blood go to from the renal vein?
glomerulus
normally, the ovarian vein crosses over the ureter at the level of the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebral bone. the ureter itself courses over the external iliac artery and vein. thus, these vessels can impinge on the ureter causing obstruction. the left ovarian vein ends in the renal vein whereas the right ovarian vein normally enters into the inferior vena cava. in the case of right ovarian vein syndrome, the vein often ends in the renal vein. this is thought to contribute to venous engorgement, in analogy to what is seen in varicoceles, which arise more commonly on the left side. the straight angle between the ovarian vein (or testicular vein in males in the case of varicocoele) and the renal vein has been proposed as a cause of decreased blood return.
ovarian vein syndrome
it is usually singular to each kidney, except in the condition "multiple renal veins". in some people the left renal vein passes behind the abdominal aorta instead of in front of it, this is termed a retroaortic left renal vein, which is also known as "the vein of schnitker." if there is both a vein passing in front of and one behind the aorta this is called a circumaortic renal vein.

diseases associated with the renal vein include renal vein thrombosis (rvt) and nutcracker syndrome (renal vein entrapment syndrome).
