About 180 liters of fluid is filtered by your kidneys per day. You pass about one to three liters of urine. Rest of the fluid is reabsorbed by your kidneys.
Filtering is a process that removes particles in suspension in a liquid. So, anything that does not dissolve in a liquid can be filtered out. Dissolved substances and pure substances, however, cannot be removed by filtering.
No. It's EVERYTHING that was filtered out of your blood minus those substances reabsorbed by the kidney. Thus it changes every day.
How much glucose is filtered and reabsorbed daily
When blood is filtered at the glomerulus (filter unit) of the kidney, some substances don't even make it into the nephron. These include proteins, which are simply too big to diffuse from the capillaries and across the Bowman's capsule. As for what substances are reabsorbed (by active transport) into the bloodstream from the nephron, these include glucose, which is too valuable to be lost in urine. Urea and other substances are lost in the urine.
