Pulmonary hypertension caused by Sjögren's syndrome can be reduced through medication. Sjögren's syndrome may lead to damage in various organs. Involvement of the respiratory system can result in pulmonary hypertension, and early manifestations may include interstitial pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and chronic bronchitis. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound and pulmonary CT can reveal the extent of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and the severity of pulmonary hypertension. Based on the individual patient's condition, regular pharmacological treatment is used to reduce pulmonary hypertension.
