If your nephrons go bad, it can lead to kidney dysfunction or failure. This can result in a build-up of waste and fluid in the body, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, swelling, and difficulty concentrating. Treatment may involve medications, dialysis, or a kidney transplant.

3 How do cortical nephrons and juxtamedullary nephrons differ structurally?
The cortical nephrons,from their name are almost entirely embedded within the cortex of the kidney.They have shortish loops of Henle that do not really extend far into the medulla. By contrast, the juxtamedullary nephrons have longs loops of Henle that do extend far into the medulla.The glomeruli of the juxtamedullary nephrons are typically close to the medulla (which is how these got their name)
What are the filters inside a kidney called?

What are the different types of nephrons?
