Physical Examination
On physical examination, symptoms of nephrotic syndrome are most commonly noted. Inspection may include facial, scrotal and vulvar edema.[1] Additionally, subungual edema may be noted showing a paradoxically pink lunulae and white nail beds. Finger abnormalities also include Muehrcke lines of the toe and finger nails, which are horizontal white lines.[1] Finally, ascites and pleural effusions due to edema may also be present.[1]
