Shari,

We know that my kidney problems are linked with Sjogrens because of a kidney biopsy I had back in Jan. 07.  It showed RTA Renal Tubular Acidosis associated with Sjogrens. I also had irreversable scarring on my kidneys because of inflammation. There was something else on the report too, but I can't remember. Sorry. They wanted to rule out Lupus because at that time that is what they suspected was really doing the damage to my kidneys. Now....it has been decided that I don't have Lupus because of bloodwork and biopsy confirmation.  It is Sjogrens and my Doc's were VERY surprised. They tested me for everything including Scleroderma.

Of course the bloodwork backs it up too. You can find more info about it on my blog listed below if you'd like.
Take Care!
Vicky
