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.
Vital signs
Skin
- Erythematous nodules due to necrotizing arteritis[1]
- Granulomatous cutaneous nodules in patients presening with granulomatosis with polyangitis
Abdomen
- Most of patients with ANCA +ve shows gastrointestinal involvement[2]
- Occult GI bleeding as a result of ulceration due to arteritis
- Pancreatitis may be present with following signs
- Abdominal pain radiating to back
- Fever
- Tachycardia
- Weight loss
- Steatorrhea
Neuromuscular
- Mononeuritis multiplex in ANCA +ve patients[3]
- Arthritis
- Arthralgia
Genitourinary
- Penile/vaginal discharge
Neuromuscular
- Mononeuritis multiplex in ANCA +ve patients[3]
- Arthritis
- Arthralgia
- Generalized seizures
- Patient is usually oriented to persons, place, and time.
Extremities
- Pitting/non-pitting edema of the upper/lower extremities
