Nephrotic syndrome associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome and Sjögren syndrome: A case report and literature review
This case illustrates the rare coexistence of GBS, MCD, and Sjögren syndrome kidney injury in a single patient. Autoimmune markers played a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Immunosuppressive therapy and intravenous immunoglobulin were essential in treating both neurological and renal complications. Further research is needed to deepen our understanding of the overlap of autoimmune diseases and to optimize treatment strategies for such complex cases.
