Abstract
- Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder causing dry eye or dry mouth from the lymphocytic infiltration in the lacrimal gland and the salivary gland. Renal involvement is seen in about 20-40% of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. Tubulointerstitial nephritis is the most common renal complication in primary Sjogren's syndrome. However, glomerulonephritis such as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, membranous glomerulonephritis rarely may complicate primary Sjogren's syndrome. Sjogren's syndrome associated with glomerulonephritis hasn't been reproted yet in Korea. We report nephrotic syndrome associated with membranous glomerulonephritis in a case with primary Sjogren's syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome resolved after treatment with corticosteroid.
