Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands resulting in xerostomia, dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), and profound B-cell hyperactivity. Middle-aged women are primarily affected with female: male ratio 10-20:1, although Sjögren's syndrome may occur at any age, including childhood. In this case report, we discuss a case of a 30 years female with distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA), who had experienced severe hypokalemic episodes since the age of 25 years; the patient was eventually diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome. She was managed with potassium and alkali repletion therapy.
