The mechanisms in the loop of Henle are rather complicated. In my opinion, they are beyond the scope of this article. I will add more details to the loop of Henle article. Axl 12:00, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Juxtamedullary region

The juxtamedullary region is formed between the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and the afferent arterioles; not the DCT and the afferent arterioles. This article as it stands is incorrect. ICL - 10:49 April 13, 2007 (UofA)

Are you speaking of the juxtaglomerular apparatus by chance? (I ask because the JG apparatus is entirely different from the juxtamedullary region; the latter is the cortical region directly abutting the renal medulla.) If so, I completely agree, so I've corrected the article. Feel free to make these sorts of changes in the future -- after all, this is a wiki!

[edit] Proximal tubule

Why doesn't proximal tubule have its own article? 203.218.86.162 14:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It does. --David Iberri (talk) 22:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
