Nephron comprises two sections, which are each under the editorship of internationally recognized leaders and served by specialized and young Associate Editors. Apart from high-quality original research, Nephron publishes invited reviews/minireviews on up-to-date topics.

New sections of the Journal are Second Opinion and Case Studies of Genetic Interest. Second Opinion provides a platform for international experts and opinion leaders to cast a critical over published papers dealing with hot topics in clinical and experimental nephrology. The objective of Case Studies of Genetic Interest is to provide clinically relevant examples of the genetic heterogeneity of renal diseases.
