Abstract:
Two patients with chronic sialoadenitis had features of Bartter's and Gitelman's syndrome, respectively. The main complaints were leg paraesthesiae and acute arthritis. A good response to oral K+ supplementation, allopurinol and low-dose prednisone was obtained. The features of Sjögren's-related renal diseases are reviewed.
