Image of a close-up nephron and its place in the kidney. Labels on the kidney crosssection show where unfiltered blood enters, filtered blood leaves, and urine exits. On the nephron, the glomerulus, tubule, and collecting duct are labeled along with where unfiltered blood enters, filtered blood exits, and urine exits.

From your kidneys to your eyes: lessons from computational kidney models
Article

  • Sep 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this review is to describe computational models that have been developed for studying kidney function and howthese models may be adapted to study the eyes. Methods: We derive equations for modeling solute andwater transport across epithelial cell membranes in the kidney. These equations describe mass conservation, as well me...
