==Overview==
Nephritic syndrome due to a primary [[glomerular disease]] is usually not very remarkable.  Nonetheless, a few signs on physical exam might still be present such as [[high blood pressure]] in a minority of patients and signs of fluid overload ([[peripheral edema|peripheral]] or [[periorbital edema]], [[pulmonary edema]], [[ascites]], and [[jugular venous distention]]).  A full physical examination is required when patients present with nephritic syndrome in search for causes of secondary glomerular pathology.
