Overview
Physical examination of the patient with MH should be focused on isolating the underlying cause. The physical examination findings will vary depending on the etiology, as follows:
Vital Signs
- Blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and consciousness level are important to assess hemodynamic stability, volume status, and possible presence of shock or sepsis.
- Presence of hypertension may indicate advanced glomerulopathy.
Genitourinary system
- Flank tenderness;
- Masses in the flank, abdomen, suprapubic area, or urethra
- Enlarged, nodular, tender, or fluctuant prostate.
Coagulopathy
Infection
Renal disease
Urethral stricture or benign prostatic hyperplasia
