Abstract
- Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the salivary and lacrimal glands. In addition, extra-glandular manifestations involving the lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, skin and central nervous system were reported in patients with SS. These extra-glandular manifestations are not rare in adult patient, but are very rare in pediatric SS. Renal manifestations are relatively common in adult SS, but are rarely reported in childhood SS. We experienced a girl with primary SS manifested with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and renal tubular acidosis.
