==Overview==
==Overview==
A complete medical history and a comprehensive renal, pulmonary, and ENT examination must be preformed to help identify and properly diagnose Granulomatosis with polyangiitis from other diseases.
The important physical exam findings are [[Ulcerations]], palpable [[purpura]] and subcutaneous [[nodules]] in the skin; [[conjunctivitis]], [[uveitis]], [[sinusitis]], [[purulent]] exudate from nares,[[saddle nose]] deformity, reduced hearing in the head and neck; [[pleuritic chest pain]] ans signs of [[atelectasis]] in lung examination; and signs of [[mononeuritis multiplex]] on neural exam.

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 Granulomatosis with polyangiitis:
