			As the interlobar arteries ascend through the renal columns, they approach the boundary between the renal cortex and the renal medulla. At this point, they branch into the [[arcuate arteries]], which arch over the base of the renal pyramids.

			=== Function ===

			The primary function of the interlobar arteries is to supply blood to the renal lobes. Each interlobar artery serves a specific lobe of the kidney, ensuring that the nephrons within that lobe receive an adequate blood supply for filtration and urine formation.

			The blood flow through the interlobar arteries is crucial for maintaining the kidney's ability to filter blood, regulate blood pressure, and balance electrolytes and fluids in the body.

			=== Clinical Significance ===

			Any obstruction or damage to the interlobar arteries can lead to impaired kidney function. Conditions such as [[renal artery stenosis]] or [[atherosclerosis]] can affect these arteries, potentially leading to [[hypertension]] or [[chronic kidney disease]].

'''Interlobar arteries''' are a part of the [[renal circulation]]. They are responsible for supplying blood to the [[renal cortex]] and [[renal medulla]]. The term "interlobar" is derived from the Latin words "inter" meaning between and "lobar" meaning lobes, referring to the location of these arteries between the lobes of the kidney.
