Proper function of the kidney is critical for concentrating urine, regulating blood pressure, ... and colleagues set out to identify key regulators of distal nephron function.

The single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is similar to total GFR assessed for all nephrons, according to results of a study published June 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine. "[T ...

This commentary discusses nephron protection in diabetic kidney disease and describes the way in which renin–angiotensin system inhibitors and the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor ...

The kidney carries out important functions via microscopic functional units called nephrons. Researchers are investigating which factors control the formation and function of specific segments of ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered to be the most important assessment of kidney function. In clinical practice, the total GFR, which is the sum of all the single-nephron GFRs, is ...

The kidneys are essential for balancing the body’s internal environment. If they do not work properly, problems can arise with various bodily functions. Learn more here.

The kidney achieves these important functions through many microscopic functional units, called nephrons. These nephrons consist of different segments with distinct functions.
