When blood is flowing through your kidneys and getting filtered a lot of things that go through the filter are salts, water, urea, glucose and some amino acids go through. Later on much of the water, salt and some glucose and amino acids get reabsorbed. So much of what your urine is composed of is urea, water, salt with extremely small amounts of glucose and amino acids.
