Basically blood plasma minus proteins.  The glomeruli can filter out most serum proteins, but lets a few small ones through (I think the cutoff is like 25kD).  Some albumin does manage to get through, this is recovered in the proximal tubule.

What substances are in both urine and glomerular filtrate?

Both urine and glomerular filtrate contain water, urea, electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium), and creatinine. Glomerular filtrate is the fluid that passes from the blood into the renal tubules, while urine is the final product after further processing and concentration by the kidneys. As glomerular filtrate is modified during its passage through the nephron, some substances are reabsorbed or secreted, leading to differences in composition between the two.


Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?

Plasma is isotonic to glomerular filtrate, meaning that the concentration of solutes in the two fluids is similar. This isotonicity helps to maintain the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body.


What are the two stages of filtration in the nephrons?

The two stages of filtration in the nephrons are glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption. Glomerular filtration occurs in the glomerulus where blood is filtered to form a filtrate. Tubular reabsorption involves the reabsorption of essential substances such as water, glucose, and ions back into the bloodstream from the filtrate in the renal tubules.

WhaT is the difference between filtrate and urine?

The main difference between filtrate and urine is the chemical composition of the two. Filtrate has almost all the substance that blood plasma has except blood proteins while urine only contains waste substances.
