What is the terminal part of the nephron?

Papillary duct or DCT The thing in this question that stands out to me is "part of the nephron". Actually the parts of a nephron only include renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tuble, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule.

Why does the drug ACTOS cause edema?

Actos activates the sodium tubules in the distal part of the kidney, making you more prone to salt and water retention. To combat this, take Actos at night before you go to bed. You body naturally diuresis at night, and this will help lower the incidence and severity of the edema. Also, cut down on the salt intake.
