Sjögren’s Pulmonary Clinics
Sjögren’s is the second most prevalent autoimmune rheumatic disease and affects about 4 million Americans. In addition to affecting the moisture producing glands resulting in primary symptoms of dry eye, dry mouth, fatigue and joint pain, Sjögren’s can affect any body organ or system. Interstitial lung disease is the most common pulmonary manifestation in Sjögren’s, but pulmonary hypertension, amyloidosis, cystic lung disease and MALT lymphoma can also occur in the lungs.
Few studies have been done in pulmonary manifestations of Sjögren’s, and few pulmonary experts who are also knowledgeable about Sjögren’s have been available to Sjögren’s patients. The Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation applauds the vision to create Sjögren’s Pulmonary Clinics within the LAM clinical settings to change this. Our hope is that these clinics will provide our patients with expert specialized care and lead to an expanded interest in pulmonary manifestations in Sjögren’s and future studies that will increase our knowledge and improve future care in this field.
The Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation is pleased to partner with the LAM clinics in this important endeavor.
