In the process of tubular secretion, additional substances (wastes, drugs, excess ions, etc.) are actively transported from the blood in the peritubular capillaries to the renal tubule and collecting duct.

Substances that undergo this process are excreted Substances that undergo this process are returned to the blood stream. Metabolic wastes, toxins, drugs, and selected ions undergo this process. This process can take place in the proximal tubule, distal tubule, and the collecting duct This process can take place in any section of the renal tubule. Substances that are useful to the body (such as glucose, water, and certain ions) undergo this process. Reabsorption Secretion

Paracellular transport, transcellular transport, and transport proteins embedded within the luminal and basolateral membranes are all involved in tubular reabsorption and secretion. The following processes or anatomical structures can affect these processes:
