SJOGREN SYNDROME-A RARE CAUSE OF HYPOKALEMIC PARALYSIS A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

NAGARAJAN M

Abstract


Sjogren syndrome is a chronic, slowly progressive autoimmune disease characterized by
lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands resulting in xerostomia and dry eyes. Patients with primary
Sjogren syndrome are at risk for developing hypokalemia as a complication of immune mediated
interstitial nephritis and renal tubular acidosis. We report a lady with Sjogren syndrome who
presented with hypokalemic quadriparesis secondary to complete distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA).
