Overview
The exact incidence and prevalence of of milk-alkali syndrome is not known. With the introduction of histamine antagonists and decrease in antacid consumption since the 1970s, the incidence of milk-alkali syndrome has decreased significantly. However, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in milk-alkali syndrome due to increase in calcium and vitamin D consumption in postmenopausal women for osteoporosis prevention. Milk-alkali syndrome is the third most common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients after primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancies.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The exact incidence of milk-alkali syndrome is not known. (patel)
- With the introduction of histamine antagonists and decrease in antacid consumption since the 1970s, the incidence of milk-alkali syndrome has decreased significantly. However, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in milk-alkali syndrome due to increase in calcium and vitamin D consumption in postmenopausal women for osteoporosis prevention. (6=7)
Prevalence
- The exact prevalence of milk-alkali syndrome is not known.
- Milk-alkali syndrome is the third most common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients after primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancies. (4beal7)
Age
- Currently, the 'modern' milk-alkali syndrome mostly affects postmenopausal women who consume calcium supplements for osteoporosis prevention. (6-8)alfanso)i
- The 'classic' milk-alkali syndrome mostly affected middle aged men who consumed the 'Sippy Powder' for peptic ulcer disease, and has disappeared with the introduction of histamine-2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in 1976 and 1989, respectively. (alfano)
