At the renal plasma threshold, more glucose is in the filtrate than active transport can handle, resulting in excess glucose being excreted in the urine. This occurs when the plasma glucose concentration exceeds the renal threshold, which is the level of plasma glucose at which the capacity of the renal tubules to reabsorb glucose is exceeded, and glucose begins to appear in the urine.
