The main symptoms of the syndrome are xerostomia and keratoconjuctivitis sicca as a result of chronic inflammatory infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis complicating primary Sjögren’s syndrome is extremely rare. We report on a 39-year-old woman with 5 years history of sjogren syndrome who was found to have nephrotic syndrome. Histopathological findings in kidney biopsy compatible with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Steroid therapy was initiated (oral prednisolone at a dose of 15 mg/day) and Cyclosporine 2 * 100mg/d. FSGS, which is associated with sjögren’s syndrome, was considered suitable for the presentation because of its rare occurrence}, number={Supplement 1}, publisher={Nizameddin KOCA}
