We report a case of a 26-year old lady who presented with a history of several episodes of limb weakness requiring repeated hospitalization over the last 12 years and about 6 years back, she also developed features of sicca complex. Further investigations revealed hypokalemia, distal renal tubular acidosis and bilateral extensive nephrocalcinosis. Finally, a diagnosis of Sjogren’s syndrome was made. Hypokalemia may be the presenting feature of Sjogren’s syndrome. Sjogren’s syndrome may be suspected in patients with recurrent hypokalemia and renal tubular acidosis.
