The renal vein returns blood from the kidney directly into the inferior vena cava (IVC). The interlobar, segmental, and arcuate veins are intrarenal veins that drain into the renal vein. The splenic vein drains blood from the spleen, pancreas, and stomach, while the hepatic vein drains blood from the liver.
