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.
