Abstrakt: The EDTA (European Dialysis and Transplantation Association) statistic data on kidney diseases in ageing population point out vascular and/or metabolic origins. We report here a case of a rare cause of renal insufficiency, a Gougerot-Sjögren primary syndrome, diagnosed in an old patient. Renal and salivary gland biopsies were performed. The invasive investigation allowed an accurate diagnosis and an etiologic treatment.
