Overview

Common physical examination findings of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis include, hematuria, hypertension, edema, skin nodules, gastrointestinal bleeding.

Arthralgia and arthritis may be seen. Nervous system involvement is present in 30% of patients with microscopic polyangiitis and 70% of patients with Churg-Strauss diseas.

Physical examination

Appearance of the patient

  • Patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis usually appear ill.
  • Patient may appear pale due to anemia.

  • Granulomatous cutaneous nodules in patients presening with granulomatosis with polyangitis

Abdomen

Neuromuscular
