From what you have learned at this point about the nephron, it should now be obvious that the glomerular filtrate is not the same as the urine that is eventually formed. It is also important to note that many processes that glomerular filtrate goes through will vary depending on the state of the body and its need to maintain, among others, fluid or electrolyte balance.
