Abstract:
A set of equations that approximate the central core model of the human kidney are solved. It is noted that the solution indicates a limit to the increase in solute concentration in the descending limb of Henle for a given metabolic pump term. Comparison is made with the results of an alternative theory, and numerical results are presented for the increase in solute concentration in the descending limb of Henle.
