Nephritic syndrome due to a primary glomerular disease is usually not very remarkable. Nonetheless, a few signs on physical exam might still be present.
*High blood pressure in a minority of patients
*Signs of fluid overload, such as peripheral or periorbital edema, pulmonary edema, ascites, and jugular venous distention
