Design and Simulation of Proximal Convoluted Tubule Flow Kinetics for Kidney-on-chip Applications
Abstract: The primary function of human kidney is purifying the impure blood in the body. In addition to this, kidney performs balance homeostasis, solute balance and blood pressure maintenance. Proximal convoluted tube (PCT) is a primary part in the nephron which plays a crucial role in the excretion, secretion and re-absorption of solutes and proteins. While performing all these functions, kidneys tends to get affected in several ways leading to failure …

Chronic Kidney Disease: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by a long-term decline in kidney function, leading to a gradual deterioration of the kidneys' ability to filter waste and maintain fluid balance. It is diagnosed when the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) falls below 60 ml/min/1.73 m² or when there is evidence of kidney damage (such as proteinuria) lasting for 3 months or more. The most common causes of CKD are …

An Approach towards in Management of Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract: The current international guidelines define and classify the chronic kidney disease (CKD) as decreased kidney function shown by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Glomerular filtration rate of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 for at least 3 months is a marker for kidney damage. The underlying causes for chronic kidney disease are proteinuria and hypertension. It is the main cause of CKD in many high-, middle- and low-income countries. In different countries, …
