Hypokalemic Quadriparesis As Initial Presentation of Secondary Sjogren Syndrome With Associated Autoimmune Thyroiditis: A Case Report

Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder typically presenting as dry mouth and eyes (sicca syndrome). However, the disease can involve any organ, complicating diagnosis. Renal involvement may manifest as distal renal tubular acidosis, leading to hypokalemia. We report a case of a 25-year-ol...

description Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder typically presenting as dry mouth and eyes (sicca syndrome). However, the disease can involve any organ, complicating diagnosis. Renal involvement may manifest as distal renal tubular acidosis, leading to hypokalemia. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman presenting with progressive quadriparesis and vomiting. She had severe hypokalemic paralysis due to distal renal tubular acidosis. The patient was diagnosed with secondary Sjögren syndrome with autoimmune thyroiditis. She recovered completely with potassium supplementation.
