Human Life Research on ISS Russian Segment
Diurez Experiment
Objective:
Reception of new data on the water-salt metabolism status and hormonal control of volimia in zero-gravity conditions and during post-flight readaptation period.
Tasks:
- Study of the dependence between renal elimination activity and its hormonal control.
- Study of the balance of liquid and main electrolytes.
Flight equipment Used:
- Cryogem-03 refrigerator
to freeze blood samples
|
- Plasma-03 centrifuge
to separate blood into plasma and serum
- Plasma-03 set of accessories
for sampling
- Gematokrit Kit
to take blood samples and separate plasma from
erythrocytes defining hematocrit number
- Reflotron-4 Kit
capillary blood count for hemoglobin, creatinine
and urea.
|
Support Equipment Set:
Consumables:
- Plasma-03 Kit
for taking, processing and storage of venous
blood and urine
- M-Priemniki Kit
to study water-salt metabolism
Expected Results:
Evaluation of mechanisms of water-electrolyte metabolism adaptation to zero-gravity conditions.
