Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the lumen in the pct is largely by means of: secondary active cotransport.

Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney associated with removing waste products from the blood. It achieves the function by performing filtration which results in formation of urine. A nephron is divided into two parts namely renal corpuscle and renal tubule. Renal corpuscle is associated with filtration and renal tubule mainly performs reabsorption.

Renal tubules are further divided into Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) and collecting duct. PCT and DCT are mainly linked with reabsorption and secretion respectively. Reabsorption in PCT occurs via cotransport. Here, glucose is reabsorbed along with sodium ions via SGLT2 cotransporter. Specifically, the reabsorption method is termed as sodium-coupled secondary active transport.
