Introduction Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are two chronic autoimmune diseases. To date, there have been few reports on the overlap between SS and RA in China, especially regarding correlated acute renal failure cases. Material and methods To provide a reference for our clinical peers, this article presents the case report of an elderly female patient who was diagnosed with acute renal failure caused by SS and RA overlap syndrome. Results We also provide a relevant analysis of SS and RA overlap syndrome treatment. Conclusions We also provide a relevant analysis of SS and RA overlap syndrome treatment.
