What is Sjogren's Syndrome?

​

Sjogren’s Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the body’s moisture-producing glands, causing dryness in the mouth and eyes. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks these glands, leading to a reduction in their ability to produce saliva and tears. While Sjogren's primarily targets the salivary and lacrimal glands, it can also affect other parts of the body such as the joints, lungs, kidneys, and nerves.
