Abstract
Milk-alkali syndrome was first described in patients using high dose antacid drugs for peptic ulcer. The triad of the syndrome is hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and acute renal failure. The incidence of the syndrome that decreased after the development of modern ulcer treatments has currently been increasing again due to the use of calcium-containing medicine for osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy. In this report, we present a patient who had been under calcium carbonate and active vitamin D treatment due to idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and presented with life-threatening hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and acute renal failure.
