Kidneys regulate blood volume by controlling sodium and water excretion.
This is the first computer model to connect blood vessel and kidney tube functions in a single system.
This kidney model is more detailed than other computer models of the whole body or kidney parts.
A computer model of kidney function that includes how hormones affect kidney tubes and blood vessels can accurately simulate how the kidneys control salt and water levels in the body.
Older kidney models only worked for one specific condition, but this new model works for many different situations and matches real rat data.
