Physical examination of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) may show signs consistent with causes of secondary FSGS. Generally, patients with FSGS may have positive findings on physical examination suggestive of the following:

• Elevated blood pressure
• Obesity
• Skin pallor
• Peripheral edema
• Ascites and abdominal distention
• Pleural effusion
• Pericardial effusion
• Xanthomata and xanthelesma
• Muehrcke's lines (white bands) on nailbeds suggestive of hypoalbuminemia
