Overview
The following laboratory findings are usually seen in milk-alkali syndrome: hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, variable degrees of renal insufficiency, low or normal phosphorus, low Vitamin D, and low PTH.
Laboratory Findings
- The following laboratory findings are seen in milk-alkali syndrome:[1][2][3][4]
- Hypercalcemia
- Metabolic alkalosis
- Increase in bicarbonate and alkalotic pH
- Variable degrees of renal insufficiency
- Phosphorus may be normal or low
- Phosphorus levels used to be high in the classic milk-alkali syndrome due to the high phosphorus load from cream and milk consumption and renal insufficiency
- Vitamin D is usually low
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is usually low
- PTH should be checked in order to rule out primary hyperparathyroidism.
