However, the full spectrum of distal nephron tumors is currently evolving and has yet to be defined and firmly established.
This latter group of tumors displays a wide range of clinical behavior, from benign to highly aggressive.
In view of recent advances in treatment approach, especially for collecting duct carcinoma, further categorization of this nondescript and heterogeneous group of renal cell carcinomas, not otherwise specified, at least by its derivation in relationship to the renal nephron (distal vs proximal), may be of value in the choice of treatment modality.

 Nephron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of its importance in body fluid regulation, the nephron is a common target of drugs that treat high blood pressure and edema.
A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney.
Nephrons eliminate wastes from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH.

Rather than providing the traditional coverage typical of many speciality journals, this new format accounts for the recurring concern of readers that their specific interests within a field are often diluted to the point of finding little of relevance in such journals.
Apart from high-quality, original research 'Nephron' publishes invited minireviews on topics of current interest which are designed to update, to inform clinical practitioners and to provide an educational forum.
Clinical physiology, fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and urinary tract function are all embraced.

 Reduced nephron number in adult sheep, hypertensive as a result of prenatal glucocorticoid treatment -- Wintour et al. ...
The times of glucocorticoid treatment, relative to metanephric development were thus comparable in the rat and sheep studies.
The finding that, in a long-gestation species, nephron number can be decreased by glucocorticoid treatment, at such an early stage of kidney development, suggests that there are critical periods for programming hypertension at much earlier stages than would have been predicted.
Taken together, higher accumulation of collagen in both kidney and heart may have resulted from the structural changes in these two organs that have developed as a result of chronic non-treated hypertension.

Thus, the kidney does not have to work by a process of identifying what is bad; rather it works by identifying those things that are good for the body.
Through tubular reabsorption, the nephron will reuptake what it deems as good and therefore, by definition, everything else is waste.
Secretion- Some substances are in fact identified as being 'bad' and are actively transported from the blood of the capillaries flowing around the tubules.
