In 1915, Bertram Sippy introduced a treatment for [[Peptic ulcer|peptic ulcer disease]] which was an hourly mixture of milk and cream combined with [[Alkali|alkaline]] powders. In 1923,  the toxic effects of Sippy’s regimen. were reported for the first time. With the introduction of [[Histamine antagonist|histamine antagonists]] and decrease in [[antacid]] consumption since the 1970s, the incidence of milk-alkali syndrome has decreased significantly. However, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in milk-alkali syndrome due to an increase in [[calcium]] and [[vitamin D]] consumption in postmenopausal women for [[osteoporosis]] prevention.

* There is limited information about the historical perspective of milk-alkali syndrome.
* In 1915, Bertram Sippy introduced a treatment for [[Peptic ulcer|peptic ulcer disease]] which was an hourly mixture of milk and cream combined with [[Alkali|alkaline]] powders ([[magnesium oxide]], [[sodium bicarbonate]], and bismuth subcarbonate).<ref name="pmid6352976">{{cite journal| author=Sippy BW| title=Landmark article May 15, 1915: Gastric and duodenal ulcer.

* In 1923, Hardt and Rivers reported toxic effects of Sippy’s treatment regimen, and reported [[Acute kidney injury|azotemia]] and increase in [[sodium bicarbonate]] in patients that had signs of toxemia ([[Headache|headaches]], [[Nausea and vomiting|nausea, vomiting]], [[dizziness]], and distaste for milk).<ref name="HARDT p=171">{{cite journal | last=HARDT | first=LEO L. | title=TOXIC MANIFESTATIONS FOLLOWING THE ALKALINE TREATMENT OF PEPTIC ULCER | journal=Archives of Internal Medicine | publisher=American Medical Association (AMA) | volume=31 | issue=2 | date=1923-02-01 | issn=0003-9926 | doi=10.1001/archinte.1923.00110140023003 | page=171}}</ref>
* In 1936, Cope found [[hypercalcemia]], [[hyperphosphatemia]], [[Acute kidney injury|azotemia]], and increased [[bicarbonate]] in patients on [[alkali]] therapies for gastric ulcers.
* In 1949, Burnett described a syndrome with [[hypercalcemia]] without [[hypercalciuria]] or [[hypophosphatemia]], [[renal insufficiency]] and [[calcinosis]] in patients consuming milk and alkali. The renal insufficiency did not resolve after the withdrawal of the milk and [[alkali]] therapy and most patients progressed to [[Chronic renal failure|chronic renal disease]].<ref name="pmid18126919">{{cite journal| author=BURNETT CH, COMMONS RR| title=Hypercalcemia without hypercalcuria or hypophosphatemia, calcinosis and renal insufficiency; a syndrome following prolonged intake of milk and alkali. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 1949 | volume= 240 | issue= 20 | pages= 787-94 | pmid=18126919 | doi=10.1056/NEJM194905192402001 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18126919  }} </ref>

Overview

In 1915, Bertram Sippy introduced a treatment for peptic ulcer disease which was an hourly mixture of milk and cream combined with alkaline powders. In 1923, the toxic effects of Sippy’s regimen. were reported for the first time. With the introduction of histamine antagonists and decrease in antacid consumption since the 1970s, the incidence of milk-alkali syndrome has decreased significantly. However, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in milk-alkali syndrome due to an increase in calcium and vitamin D consumption in postmenopausal women for osteoporosis prevention.

Historical Perspective

  • Since the 1990s, there has been an increase in the 'modern' milk-alkali syndrome due to an increase in calcium and vitamin D consumption in postmenopausal women for osteoporosis prevention.[6][7][8]
