Development of a physiologically-based computational kidney model to describe the renal excretion of hydrophilic agents in rats
A physiologically-based kidney model was developed to analyze the renal excretion and kidney exposure of hydrophilic agents, in particular contrast media, in rats. In order to study the influence of osmolality and viscosity changes, the model mechanistically represents urine concentration by water r...
