Abstract

Introduction: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are two chronic autoimmune diseases. To date, there have been few reports on the overlap between SS and RA in China, especially regarding correlated acute renal failure cases.

Methods: To provide a reference for our clinical peers, this article presents the case report of an elderly female patient who was diagnosed with acute renal failure caused by SS and RA overlap syndrome.

Results: We also provide a relevant analysis of SS and RA overlap syndrome treatment.

Conclusions: We also provide a relevant analysis of SS and RA overlap syndrome treatment.

Keywords: Sjögren’s syndrome; acute renal failure; overlap syndrome; rheumatoid arthritis.
