Renal Injury in Calcium-Alkali Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcium-alkali syndrome is characterized by hypercalcemia, renal injury and metabolic alkalosis. Calcium-alkali syndrome caused by calcium carbonate and vitamin D has been increasing in association with their growing use for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Renal injury is the most critical factor determining the severity and prognosis of this syndrome. This review focuses on the mechanism and clinical aspects of renal injury in calcium-alkali syndrome.

The calcium-alkali syndrome.
The milk-alkali syndrome was a common cause of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and renal failure in the early 20th century. It was caused by the ingestion of large quantities of milk and absorbable alkali to treat peptic ulcer disease. The syndrome virtually vanished after introduction of histamine-2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors. More recently, a similar condition called the calcium-...
متن کاملHypercalcemia Associated with Acute Kidney Injury and Metabolic Alkalosis
Most cases of hypercalcaemia are secondary to malignancy or primary hyperparathyroidism. We report a patient presenting with a triad of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and renal failure secondary to treatment of iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism and osteoporosis. Persistent ingestion of calcium carbonate and vitamin D caused milk-alkali syndrome. The patient was managed with intravenous fluids ...
متن کاملCalcium-Alkali Syndrome in the Modern Era
The ingestion of calcium, along with alkali, results in a well-described triad of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and renal insufficiency. Over time, the epidemiology and root cause of the syndrome have shifted, such that the disorder, originally called the milk-alkali syndrome, is now better described as the calcium-alkali syndrome. The calcium-alkali syndrome is an important cause of morb...
متن کاملAntacids, Altered Mental Status, and Milk-Alkali Syndrome
The frequency of milk-alkali syndrome decreased rapidly after the development of histamine-2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease; however, the availability and overconsumption of antacids and calcium supplements can still place patients at risk (D. P. Beall et al., 2006). Here we describe a patient who presented with altered mental status, hypercalce...
متن کاملMilk alkali syndrome and the dynamics of calcium homeostasis.
I ntensive treatment with calcium-containing antacids and milk first was used in the early 20th century for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and sometimes was associated with toxicity, eventually known as the milk alkali syndrome. Despite the introduction of H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, the milk alkali syndrome continues to occur but is ...
