We describe two adolescents who presented with end-stage renal failure and clinical features suggestive of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). They both demonstrated severe, chronic, tubulointerstitial inflammation on renal biopsy, high-titre antinuclear antibodies, high immunoglobulin A and G concentrations, positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies, and negative anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies. One had subjective and objective evidence of the sicca complex (dry eyes and/or dry mouth) and fulfilled the commonly accepted SS consensus criteria. The other showed no evidence of the sicca complex but fulfilled modified criteria for juvenile SS. SS may be underrecognised as a cause of end-stage renal failure in childhood.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002097 C-Reactive Protein A plasma protein that circulates in increased amounts during inflammation and after tissue damage. C-Reactive Protein measured by more sensitive methods often for coronary heart disease risk assessment is referred to as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP).
