Load normalisation1

  • Fluid-driven tubule expansion may compress kidney vessels and reduce oxygen supply

    Where this hypothesis actsMechanically constrained renal medulla in an aged kidney during SGLT2 blockade

    What is proposedReduce local hydrostatic pressure to relieve vascular compression

    With whatPhysical or surgical intervention

    HowControlled local decompression while maintaining transport load and matching filtration, reabsorption, temperature and arterial pressure

    Possible resultPossible restoration of capillary blood flow, oxygen supply and repeat reserve, with stabilization of SPV_9
