Many foods claim to be high in calcium, but calcium can be dangerous if taken in excess. A woman in her 40s started to take a lot of nutritional supplements because she always felt tired, including multivitamins and calcium tablets. After half a year, she developed "milk-alkali syndrome" and even her kidneys were calcified. Eat again, or you may wash your kidneys for life.
The so-called milk-alkali syndrome, simply put, is alkalosis, which can lead to renal insufficiency and renal calcification. It is a serious problem in hypercalcemia. It often occurs in some patients with peptic ulcer in the past, because these patients need to take a lot of calcium and Alkaline solution, but later the treatment trend changed, which also made milk-alkali syndrome rare in such patients, only seen in some patients with kidney dialysis, cancer and abnormal parathyroid.
Qiu Zunyu, attending physician of the Department of Nephrology at Mackay Hospital, said that although milk-alkali syndrome is hardly seen in peptic ulcer patients,
As for the case of the 40-year-old female that Ma Kai received, she had the habit of taking a lot of nutritional supplements. Qiu Zunyu said that the patient began to take a variety of comprehensive vitamins, mainly vitamin B, about half a year ago due to long-term depression. , I also took calcium tablets and Chinese herbal medicine, but after half a year, something went wrong, nausea, vomiting, and insomnia all came, and I lost 4 kg in less than 3 weeks.
Qiu Zunyu pointed out that the patient was originally in good health, and there was no abnormality in the preliminary examination, but after a detailed examination, it was found that she had milk-alkali syndrome. In addition to hypercalcemia and metabolic alkalemia, her kidneys were also damaged. Insufficiency, kidney calcification, and the culprit may be related to excessive calcium intake, because the various multivitamins she eats contain calcium carbonate. After calculation, she may consume an average of 4 to 6 grams of calcium a day.
Since the disease was suspected to be caused by too much calcium, the doctor asked the patient to stop taking nutritional supplements. As a result, after stopping eating for a week, the symptoms improved significantly, but it is estimated that the renal function will take at least half a year to recover, Qiu Zunyu pointed out , this is the greatest fortune in misfortune, if she eats again, she may have to embark on the road of kidney dialysis.
