Reverse engineering the kidney: modelling calcium oxalate monohydrate crystallization in the nephron

Crystallization of calcium oxalate monohydrate in a section of a single kidney nephron (distal convoluted tubule) is simulated using a model adapted from industrial crystallization. The nephron fluid dynamics is represented as a crystallizer/separator series with changing volume to allow for water r...
