Table 9. Inflow to the entry to the tubes.

Fv [Sodium] [Urea] [NRS] [Total Ammonia] Osmolality
DL 10 137 10 1 1.7 264
DVR 11 139.46 5 5 0.1 264

Initial concentrations and volume flows Fv at the entry to the short and long descending limbs (DL) and vasa recta. Volume flow in nL/min, concentration in mM, osmolality in mosm/Kg H2O. Sodium concentration is calculated to ensure that osmolality equals 264 at the entry to the descending tubules (activity coefficient 1.82) [17].
