Abstract
|
|
|
A 36-year old woman with Sjorgen’s syndrome, distal renal tubular acidosis and hypokalemic muscle paralysis is described. The main manifestation was muscle paralysis due hto hypokalemia secondary to renal tubular acidosis.
Review fo English literatures revealed 13 cases of hypokalemic patralysis due to Sjogren’s syndrome. The data from those reports have indicated that hypokalemic aralysis was seen more often in patients with primary Sjogren’s syndrome than secondary one and that it might precede the classic sicca comple. Hypokalemic paralysis may serve as a clinical marker for more severe renal disease in patients who have primary Sjogren’s syndrome and renal tubular acidosis, even though it is a rare manifestation of Sjogren’s syndrome.
