Abstract
Two patients with chronic sialoadenitis had features of Bartter's and Gitelman's syndrome, respectively. The main complaints were leg paraes thesiae and acute arthritis. A good response to oral K+ supplementatio n, allopurinol and low-dose prednisone was obtained. The features of S jogren's-related renal diseases are reviewed.
