Blood leaves the glomerular capillaries via a second set of arterioles, the efferent arterioles, which deliver blood to the peritubular capillaries.

The peritubular capillaries are the blood vessels that directly receive substances from the tubular cells in the kidneys. They play a crucial role in reabsorbing water and solutes back into the bloodstream during the process of urine formation.
The glomerulus
Renal capillaries, aka the glomerulus, where nitrogenous wastes and excess water in the blood plasma diffuse over to the nephron to be filtered and excreted.
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.

The most abundant blood vessels in the kidney are the peritubular capillaries, which surround the renal tubules and are involved in reabsorption and secretion of substances during the process of urine formation. These capillaries receive blood from the efferent arterioles of the glomerulus.
