Abstract
|
|
|
|
Renal involvement is not uncommon in primary Sjogren’s syndrome; however, it is clinically insignificant in most cases. Distal renal tubular acidosis accounts particularly for the majority. While the underlying distal renal tubular acidosis is an important cause of nephrocalcinosis and urolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis is rarely a presenting feature of primary Sjogren’s syndrome. We report a 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with distal renal tubular acidosis accompanied by primary Sjogren’s syndrome, according to nephrocalcinosis, which was incidentally identified by an abdominal ultrasonography during a medical examination.
