A Case of Sjogren’s syndrome Presenting as Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis with Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Soren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic slowly progressive autoimmune disease in which there is lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands. It may present alone that is Primary Sjogren Syndrome or in association with other autoimmune diseases (Secondary Sjogren Syndrome). Renal involvement causing tubulointerstitial nephritis and distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is well known in Sjogren`s Syndrome. However, periodic paralysis due to hypokalaemia secondary to distal RTA in primary SS is rarely seen. We report the case of a female who presented with sudden onset flaccid quadriparesis and was found to have hypokalaemia. On further evaluation the diagnosis of Sjogren’s Syndrome presenting as distal RTA was made.
