Abstract EN
Hypercalcemia is a relatively common clinical problem in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
Primary pathophysiology is the entry of calcium that exceeds its excretion into urine or deposition in bone into circulation.
Among a wide array of causes of hypercalcemia, hyperparathyroidism and malignancy are the most common, accounting for greater than 90 percent of cases.
Concordantly, there has been a resurgence of milk-alkali syndrome associated with the ingestion of large amounts of calcium and absorbable alkali, making it the third leading cause of hypercalcemia (Beall and Scofield, 1995 and Picolos et al., 2005).
This paper centers on a case of over-the-counter calcium and alkali ingestion for acid reflux leading to milk alkali with concordant use of thiazide diuretic for hypertension.
