The Renal Inner Medulla Free-Energy Calculator is a tool that allows the user to calculate steady-state mass balance and free-energy balance requirements for the renal inner medulla given a particular set of flows and concentrations in loops of Henle, collecting ducts, and vasa recta at the border between the inner and outer medulla of the mammalian kidney. The free-energy calculations implement the equations of Stephenson, Tewarson, and Mejia. Sample data may be found by clicking here.
