Glomerular filtrate consists of water, ions (Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca etc), bicarbonate, urea, uric acid, creatinine etc.
It do not contain glucose, blood cells, large proteins etc.
Urine consists of 90% water, urea, small amount of chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine, inorganic and organic compounds. The fluid will be called as urine once it enters the collecting duct.

The composition of urine and glomerular filtrate differ due to the following reasons:
Explanation:
- The glomerular filtrate does not posses the same consistency as that of urine.
- The glomerular filtrate consists of blood, NaCl, excess water, glucose and aminoacid which are necessary for the body thus get reabsorbed by the Bowman's capsule thus all these components are absent in urine.
- The glomerular filtrate get converted into urine when it passes into the Bowman's capsule. But the urine passes into other organs of the body ureter and urethra.
