Milk alkali syndrome

Condition resulting from excessive ingestion of milk and absorbable antacids, which causes increased serum calcium and renal dysfunction.


Elevated blood calcium without an increase in calcium or phosphate in the urine, renal insufficiency, and alkalosis due to prolonged intake of excessive amounts of milk and soluble alkali. This condition is usually found as an undesired side effect of treating a peptic ulcer with calcium-containing antacids.


Heightened levels of calcium in the bloodstream and the presence of alkalosis resulting from an immoderate consumption of milk and alkalis. This condition commonly arises during the management of peptic ulcers.


An uncommon form of hypercalcemia (an elevated level of calcium in the bloodstream) accompanied by alkalosis (reduced blood acidity) and kidney dysfunction. This syndrome arises from prolonged and excessive consumption of antacid medications containing calcium and milk. It predominantly affects individuals with peptic ulcers. Indications encompass weakness, muscle discomfort, irritability, and lack of interest. Managing this condition involves diminishing the consumption of milk and antacids.
