Abstract
Sjogren’s syndrome (Ss) is a lymphocyte-mediated exocrinopathy with systemic manifestations (1). Today there is no therapeutic modality to control this lymphoproliferative disorder. A double-blind study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of CyA in 20 patients with primary Ss (pSs) and the results of this study were recently reported (2). In this report, we present the clinical and laboratory renal findings with emphasis to the histopathological renal lesions in 8 pSs patients treated with a small dose of CyA for a short period of time.
