Overview
Patients with [disease name] usually appear [general appearance]. Physical examination of patients with [disease name] is usually remarkable for [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Common physical examination findings of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
The presence of [finding(s)] on physical examination is diagnostic of [disease name].
OR
The presence of [finding(s)] on physical examination is highly suggestive of [disease name].
Physical Examination
Physical examination of patients with renal amyloidosis is usually remarkable for swelling, chronic renal failure, hepatosplenomegaly[1], facial or neck purpura and macroglossia[2]. Fatigue and unintentional weight loss, are common in patients with AL amyloidosis. [3][4]
Appearance of the Patient
- Patient appears well in the earlier stages of the disease[5]
- Patient appears ill in the late stages of the disease due to multi-organ involvement
Vital Signs
- Fever depends on accompanying infection
- Tachycardia/bradycardia depends on the accompanying complication[5]
- Tachypnea/bradypnea depends on the accompanying complication
Skin
Eyes
Lungs
- Pulmonary fine crackles
- Faint pulmonary auscultation, suggestive of pleural effusion
- Decreased tactile fremitus
- Dull percussion
Abdomen
- Abdominal distension
- Shifting dullness, suggestive of ascites
- Dull percussion
Extremities
- Pitting edema in lower extremities bilaterally
