Blood in the renal artery would have the SAME amount of glucose as the Renal vein ...because the job of the nephron is to actively recover the glucose..because it is needed... Thus the amount going in should equal the amount going out.. UNLESS there is FAR TOO much glucose available to recover by the active transport process.
The amount of UREA on the other hand is LOWER in the RENAL VEIN than the renal artery., because the body tries to get rid of it in the nephron and thus Urea is excreted in the urine.

Renal artery blood would contain more urea because the kidney removes some of it before returning it through the renal vein.
Renal artery blood would contain slightly more glucose because the kidney would remove some for its own metabolism before returning the blood through the renal vein.

Blood is blood is blood. There just is a whole lot more going through an artery than a vein at any point in time.
