Overview
What is Sjogren’s disease?
Sjogren’s disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its moisture-producing glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. It can occur on its own (primary Sjogren’s) or alongside other autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus (secondary Sjogren’s).
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, we offer the best Sjogren’s disease treatment in Kerala with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that targets both symptom relief and prevention of complications.
