Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The presence of dRTA and/or disorders in calcium metabolism and if present the
underlying pathogenetic mechanism.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Sjögren syndrome (SS) is associated with distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).
The true prevalence of dRTA in patients with SS is unclear. dRTA is associated
with osteoporosis and kidney stone formation and a poor well-being of the
patient. There is an effective treatment for dRTA so screening for dRTA in
patients with SS is necessary.
Study objective
The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of dRTA,
osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis in patients with SS. We also try to elucidate
the mechanism which is responsible for developing dRTA in patients with SS. The
role of auto antibodies against carbonic anhydrasis type II and the M3-receptor
will be considered.
Study design
The study is an observational study. All participants will be hospitalized
during a half day.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks for the participant by participating this study. There are
no adverse events described by the used urinary acidification test.
