Overview
Most patients with milk-alkali syndrome are asymptomatic and may become incidentally diagnosed. Complications of milk-alkali syndrome may include: confusion, psychosis, renal insufficiency, pancreatitis, abnormalities in cardiac conduction, and metastatic calcification. Prognosis of milk-alkali syndrome is generally good and early diagnosis and treatment, with the withdrawal of the offending agent and supportive therapy, usually resolve the symptoms and abnormalities in milk-alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia, alkalosis and renal insufficiency).
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
Milk-alkalai syndrome and its features (hypercalcemia, alkalosis, and renal insufficiency) may be incidentally diagnosed since most patients are asymptomatic.[1]
Complications
Complications of milk-alkali syndrome may include:[2][3][4][5][6][7]
- Confusion
- Psychosis
- Variable degrees of renal insufficiency
- Pancreatitis
- Reversible abnormalities in cardiac conduction
- Tremor
- Metastatic calcification
- Ocular calcification in the cornea (keratopathy) and in the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis)
- Renal calcinosis
- In less common sites such as central nervous system, lungs, liver, adrenal glands, bone, periarticular and subcutaneous tissue
Prognosis
- Prognosis of milk-alkali syndrome is generally good.[1]
- Early diagnosis and treatment, with withdrawal of the offending agent and supportive therapy, usually resolve the symptoms and abnormalities in milk-alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia, alkalosis and renal insufficiency).[5][4]
