Excerpt

Innervation of the kidney includes both afferent and efferent fibers of the renal plexus. This plexus is a combination of fibers originating from the celiac plexus, intermesenteric plexus, and lumbar splanchnic nerves. Nerves from these plexuses attach along the renal artery and vein, entering the hilus of the kidney. The afferent innervation is essential for nociception recognition. Efferent innervation is primarily sympathetic and receives input from each contributing plexus. Little evidence exists for parasympathetic innervation of the kidney.
