Glomerular involvement in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) has rarely been reported. Among them, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and membranous nephropathy are the more common types. We report a middle-aged female presenting concurrently with nephrotic syndrome and microscopic hematuria, and her pSS was diagnosed by positive anti-Ro (SSA)/anti-La (SSB) autoantibodies, dry mouth, severely diffuse impaired function of both bilateral parotid and submandibular glands, and a positive Schirmer test. Renal pathology revealed minimal change disease and thin basement membrane nephropathy. The patient’s nephrotic syndrome resolved after treatment with corticosteroids. To our knowledge, this is the first report of minimal change disease in a patient with pSS. |
