چکیده
Kidney involvement is a frequent extraglandular manifestation of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS); however, a clinically significant renal impairment as a result of it is rare [1]. We report a patient with primary SS with renal failure, in whom we encountered diagnostic difficulties in ruling out renal lymphoma. Immunopathologic analysis of renal biopsy specimens from this patient showed polytypic interstitial cell infiltration; and his renal failure, caused by severe tubulointerstitial nephritis, responded favourably to oral prednisolone therapy.
