Hypokalaemic alkalosis, acquired Gitelman's and Bartter's syndrome in chronic sialoadenitis

Br J Rheumatol. 1997 Oct;36(10):1125-8. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/36.10.1125.

Abstract

Two patients with chronic sialoadenitis had features of Bartter's and Gitelman's syndrome, respectively. The main complaints were leg paraesthesiae and acute arthritis. A good response to oral K+ supplementation, allopurinol and low-dose prednisone was obtained. The features of Sjögren's-related renal diseases are reviewed.
