The glomerular filtrate consists primarily of water, excess salts (primarily Na+ and K+), glucose, and a waste product of the body called urea. Urea is formed in the body to eliminate the very toxic ammonia products that are formed in the liver from amino acids.

Principle: If a solute is freely filtered (same concentration in glomerular filtrate as in plasma), is neither reabsorbed nor secreted and is not metabolized by the kidneys, then, in the steady state, the amount filtered equals the amount excreted, VU= GFRxP, so VU/P = C = GFR. Inulin, DPTA, EGTA,
