However,when the nephrons are affected adversely,the number of healthy nephrons will decline.As a result,the kidneys will shrink in size and fail to function adequately.Less blood is filtered by nephrons,thus resulting in lower GFR. High levels of waste products and toxins will build up in body. Hence, a host of complications and discomforts will appear.
