Abstract

Hypokalemic  paralysis is a rare complication of distal renal tubular acidosis from any cause.Those cases diagnosed to have primary Sjogren’s syndrome are rare. Renal tubular acidosis  caused by tubulointerstitial nephropathy is an extraglandular manifestation of primary Sjogren’s  syndrome.

We report three  cases of flaccid quadriparesis diagnosed to have hypokalemia due to distal renal tubular acidosis and  on further evaluation found to be Sjogren’s syndrome.

Keywords: Primary Sjogren’s syndrome, Distal renal tubular acidosis, Hypokalemic paralysis
