Treatment of Sjögren Syndrome with Usual Interstitial Pneumonitis

When Sjögren syndrome is complicated by usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), the pulmonary manifestation places the case in a distinct organ-severity category that shapes the overall management approach.

This protocol is specific to patients with Sjögren syndrome who also have usual interstitial pneumonitis — a fibrotic lung pattern that influences both risk stratification and treatment selection. Systemic disease management is tailored to organ-specific severity as defined by established clinical criteria.
