An existing model for volume transport in the rat proximal tubule was modified and applied to a bioartificial renal tubule. The predicted volume transport agrees well with experimental data. The volume transport model was coupled to the analytic solutions of flow in the bioartificial renal tubule bi
The need for an alternative treatment to orthotopic liver transplantation for acute liver failure is a major issue, and systems capable of temporarily providing liver functions are being actively tested. Liver assist devices based on detoxication by dialysis or hemoperfusion through various membrane
