From the original filtrate, a lot of much needed electrolytes (Sodium e.t.c) are reabsorbed (absorbed back into blood), a few substances secreted further into the urine, then loads of water reabsorbed to fine tune body water to exactly how much you need(as much as possible), making urine far more concentrated than the original filtrate.

Why is K plus more concentrated in the urine then filtrate?
K+ is more concentrated in the urine than filtrate because while other substances are reabsorbed into the capillaries through the large pores, the potassium mostly stays in the urine, which increases its concentration. Also, the pH of the body needs adjustments, which needs a large amount of K+ to be excreted through the excretory system to adjust to the optimum pH for the body.
What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
