Aldosterone Escape Phenomenon Lab (2D)

A Canvas2D lab of the same pressure-natriuresis feedback model as the 3D version: a blood-volume tank, a potassium gauge and a nephron flow diagram show why sodium balance plateaus under constant aldosterone excess while potassium loss keeps climbing.

This 2D companion runs the exact same pressure-natriuresis feedback equations as the 3D version — a fixed sodium-retention drive offset by an excretion rate that climbs with excess blood volume — through a flat tank-and-gauge view built for reading the escape curve rather than orbiting a scene.

⚙ Under the hood

Euler-integrated pressure-natriuresis model: excretion rate = base excretion under aldosterone suppression + gain × excess blood volume; sodium balance plateaus as excretion catches up to intake, while potassium loss accumulates unopposed.
