干燥综合征

Sjögren’s disease, also known as Sjögren’s and Sjögren’s syndrome, is a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disorder that happens when the immune system attacks the glands that make moisture in the eyes, mouth, and other parts of the body. The main symptoms are dry eyes and mouth, but other parts of the body may be affected as well, with many people reporting fatigue and joint and muscle pain. In addition, the disease can damage the lungs, kidneys, and nervous system. Sjögren’s disease predominantly affects women. Sjögren’s disease can occur by itself or alongside other autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis , systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), or Raynaud’s phenomenon . There is no cure for Sjögren’s disease, but there are several ways to treat and manage the symptoms.
