nephritis (TIN) is the most predominant renal involvement with lymphocyte and plasma cells
infiltration of the interstitium. We report a case of young female with SSpresented withrenal tubular
acidosis (RTA), polyradiculoneuropathy &proteinuria. Renal biopsy revealed granulomatous interstitial
nephritis. Granuloma formation is rarely seen in cases of SS.
