Disruption Of Normal Kidney Function
It was found in a study conducted in 2001 by the Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation organization of Europe that Sjogren’s can impair kidney function and can result in different kidney issues such as kidney stones, nocturia, and polyuria. The inflammation that Sjogren’s can cause can also affect other parts of the body, such as the lungs (e.g. bronchitis) or liver (e.g. cirrhosis). One reason that early detection of this disease is important is the fact that if found early the onset of kidney disease can be slowed down. It is also important to note that there are a myriad of different health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
