Tubular secretion is one of many steps in the process of filtering blood to produce liquid waste in the form of urine. Within the excretory system of many organisms, this is important for both waste removal and acid-base balance. This step is usually used to remove drugs, toxins and poisons, or other natural compounds in excessive amounts (such as potassium (K+), hydrogen (H+), and urea).

Hey!
It means that certain substances like K+ ions, hydrogen ions,ammonia,uric acid,urea,etc and also chemical drugs like Penicillin flow into the forming urine into the DCT ( Distal Convulated Tubule).
This process involves the activity of cells of the tubular wall of DCT.
Therefore, it is known as tubular secretion.
Hope it helps^^
