Overview

Tubular fluid is the fluid in the tubules of the kidney. It starts as a renal ultrafiltrate in the glomerulus, changes composition through the nephron, and ends up as urine leaving through the ureters.

Composition table

The composition of tubular fluid changes throughout the nephron, from the proximal tubule to the collecting duct:

Concentration (mM) of substances in different segments of nephron and collecting duct system
Substance proximal tubule loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubule Collecting duct system
