The kidneys relatively low metabolic demands compared with high blood flow result in a small difference in renal arterial and venous po2.
The po2 in the renal vein is relatively High compared to other organs that depend on blood flow to meet local metabolic demands.
kidneys are small, and receive almost one-fourth of total cardiac output, getting the largest blood flow per gram of tissue. Blood flow in the kidneys is excessive because it's more for filtration purposes. Thus there will be a small difference in arterial and venous po2.
