Modelling nephron dynamics and tubuloglomerular feedback

The kidneys are amazingly versatile organs that perform a wide range of vital bodily functions. This thesis provides an analysis into a range of mathematical models of the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism. The TGF mechanism is an autoregulatory mechanism unique to the kidney that maintain...
