ABSTRACT
Sjogren’s syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by keratoconjuctivitis sicca due to autoimmune destruction of exocrine glands. Tubulointerstitial nephritis is the most common renal manifestation while glomerulonephritis is rare in Sjogren’s syndrome. Here we report a case of primary Sjogren’s (pSS) who presented as acute renal failure due to mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in addition to the coexistent tubulointerstitial nephritis.
Key words: Autoimmune disease, exocrine glands, Tubulointerstitial nephritis, glomerulonephritis.
