This document discusses drug excretion, which is the removal of drugs and their metabolites from the body. It notes that the kidneys are the primary organs of excretion, known as renal excretion, while other organs like the lungs, bile, intestines, salivary glands and skin also contribute to non-renal excretion. Renal excretion involves glomerular filtration, tubular secretion and reabsorption. Glomerular filtration non-selectively filters compounds, while tubular secretion and reabsorption actively transport substances. Non-renal excretion occurs through bile, lungs, saliva, milk, skin, gastrointestinal tract and genital secretions by passive diffusion depending on factors like pH, molecular
