Abstract
A system and method to control the Na/K pumps for the treatment of ischemia of the kidney by providing an energy generating synchronization modulation electric field that is effective in synchronizing the Na/K pumps down to individual steps throughout the pumping cycle and in synthesizing one ATP for each pumping cycle. The generated ATP molecule compensates the ATP consumed in extrusion of 3 Na ions and pumping 2 K ions, resulting in a net-consumption of ATP for the Na/K pumps controlled by the system and method of the present invention that is significantly reduced, theoretically to zero, thereby providing an effective treatment for ischemia of the kidney.
