Overview
In rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis The most common early presentation is flulike symptoms characterized by malaise, fever, arthralgias, myalgias, anorexia, and weight loss. This is seen in more than 90% of patients. Following the prodrome, the other symptoms include abdominal pain, painful cutaneous nodules or ulcerations, and a migratory polyarthropathy. When pulmonary or upper airway involvement is present, patients complain of sinusitis symptoms, cough, and hemoptysis.
