1Department of Medicine, University of Colorado, Denver.
Abstract:
We present a case of the milk-alkali syndrome occurring in pregnancy, an association not described in the medical literature. Ingestion of calcium carbonate and calcium-containing food was precipitated by the hyperemesis of pregnancy. Complications--hypercalcemia, dehydration, renal insufficiency, and pancreatitis--resolved within days. Here, the milk-alkali syndrome was the cause of the hypercalcemia of pregnancy. This case illustrates a rare cause of and complications from the milk-alkali syndrome.
