Overview

A complete medical history and comprehensive renal, pulmonary, and dermatological examination must be performed to help identify and properly diagnose Microscopic polyangiitis from other diseases.

Physical Examination

A complete medical history and a comprehensive renal, pulmonary, and dermatological examination must be performed to help identify and properly diagnose Microscopic polyangiitis from other diseases. A thorough physical examination can provide insight into possible causes and associated underlying conditions. The following findings may be present during a physical examination of Microscopic polyangiitis:

• pyrexia
• leukocytoclastic angiitis
• palpable purpura
• livedo reticularis
• necrosis
• necrotizing nodules
• rales heard in the base of lungs
• sinusitis
• hypertension
• myocardial infarction
• pericarditis
• gastrointestinal bleeding
• ischemia or perforation of the bowel
• pancreatitis
• retinal hemorrhage
• scleritis
• uveitis
• uremia
• mononeuritis multiplex
• orchitis
