Sumario:Renal involvement occurs in approximately 5% of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). We reported the case of a 20-year-old African woman who was received for paralysis of 4 limbs secondary to hypokalemia. The diagnosis of renal tubular acidosis type 1 complicated by hypokalemia was retained. In the etiologic research of renal tubular acidosis type 1, primary SS was retained. The patient received symptomatic treatment based on potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, hydration, and a low protein diet. In terms of etiological treatment, she was put on corticosteroid and hydroxychloroquine. The outcome was favorable with correction of acidosis and hypokalemia.
