Fig. 3. Diagram of ex vivo pulsatile perfusion system. Perfusion
pressures (systole and diastole) are adjusted by changing heights of
reservoirs, and pulse rate is controlled by function generator. Flow (F) and
pressure (P) are measured instantaneously upstream from renal artery using
in-line probes. Doppler spectra are simultaneously obtained from perfused
kidney using commercially available ultrasound platform. Temp = temperature.
