Concentration profile problem

I have a model of a charged capillary with negative charge on its walls. When calculating the electrolyte flux across is, I reach incorrect concentration profiles outside the capillary, see attached images. This makes the flux and electric current discontinuous.
The physics is Laminar flow + Nernst-Planck-Poisson equation. Volume force within the capillary is
roo_e*dV/dx
where roo_e is the volume charge density. Capillary resides between 0 and 20 µm and aqueous diffusion boundary layers between -20...0 and 20...40 µm.
ConcProfile picture is for the cation (Na+).
