ResumoRenal tubular acidosis and focal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltrate secondary to Sjogren's syndrome remitted with low-dose glucocorticoid therapy over five and one half years in a patient with associated mild systemic lupus erythematosus. Such response has not been previously documented. This observation may have therapeutic applications for renal tubular acidosis associated with Sjögren's syndrome that deserve further investigation.
