Symptoms were self-limited and attributed to seasonal allergies. He awoke with significant periorbital and facial edema (Figure 67-1), and pitting edema to his mid-tibia bilaterally. He denies any abdominal pain, headache, rash, or gross hematuria. His evaluation reveals a normal blood pressure, normal renal function, and 4+ protein on a urine dipstick.
