Simulations of Glomerular Shear and Hoop Stresses in Diabetes, Hypertension, and Reduced Renal Mass using a Network Model of a Rat Glomerulus

A novel anatomically accurate model of rat glomerular filtration is used to quantify shear stresses on the glomerular capillary endothelium and hoop stresses on the glomerular capillary walls. Plasma, erythrocyte volume, and plasma protein mass are distributed at network nodes using pressure differe...
