Recurrent factitious hypercalcemia.

G Kallner, H Karlsson

    The American Journal of Medicine
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Severe hypercalcemia recurred in a woman with anorexia nervosa due to a factitious cheese-alkalosis syndrome. This condition mimicked the iatrogenic milk-alkali syndrome over 15 years.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder with potential metabolic complications.
    • Hypercalcemia is a serious condition requiring careful management.
    • Milk-alkali syndrome is a known cause of hypercalcemia.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year observation period of a female patient with anorexia nervosa.
    • Recurrent episodes of severe hypercalcemia were documented.
    • The patient exhibited a factitious cheese-alkalosis syndrome.

    Findings:

    • The cheese-alkalosis syndrome in this patient led to recurrent severe hypercalcemia.
    • The clinical presentation was similar to the iatrogenic milk-alkali syndrome.
    • This highlights a rare, self-induced cause of hypercalcemia in an eating disorder context.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing factitious cheese-alkalosis syndrome is crucial for managing hypercalcemia in specific patient populations.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering iatrogenic and factitious causes of metabolic disturbances.
    • Further research into the interplay between eating disorders and metabolic syndromes is warranted.
