ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with Fanconi syndrome(FS)sencondary to Sjogren's syndrome(SS). METHODS: The clinical data of 7 patients with FS secondary to SS were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, treatment options and curative effects were analyzed. RESULTS: Besides xerostomia and xerophthalmia, fatigue, polyuria and bone pain were found in 7 patients. Osteoporosis occurred in 6 cases and renal insufficiency in 3 cases. Immunoglobulin was increased in 7 cases, including 7 with IgG increase and 4 with IgG, IgA and IgM increase. All patients showed different degrees of ionic disorder and vitamin D deficiency. Renal glycosuria and amino acid urine were found in all 7 patients. All patients were treated with glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressive agents. At the same time,they were treated with maintenance of acid-base and electrolyte balance and supplementation of active vitamin D. The curative effect was good. CONCLUSION: FS secondary to SS is rare, and patients are more prone to osteoporosis and renal insufficiency. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
