Most patients with milk-alkali syndrome are asymptomatic and may become incidentally diagnosed. Complications of milk-alkali syndrome may include: confusion, psychosis, renal insufficiency, pancreatitis, abnormalities in cardiac conduction, and metastatic calcification. Prognosis of milk-alkali syndrome is generally good and early diagnosis and treatment, with the withdrawal of the offending agent and supportive therapy, usually resolve the symptoms and abnormalities in milk-alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia, alkalosis and renal insufficiency).

Milk-alkalai syndrome and its features (hypercalcemia, alkalosis, and renal insufficiency) may be incidentally diagnosed since most patients are asymptomatic.^[1]

Complications of milk-alkali syndrome may include:^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}

• Confusion
• Psychosis
• Variable degrees of renal insufficiency
• Pancreatitis
• Reversible abnormalities in cardiac conduction
• Tremor
• Metastatic calcification
  • Ocular calcification in the cornea (keratopathy) and in the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis)
  • Renal calcinosis
  • In less common sites such as central nervous system, lungs, liver, adrenal glands, bone, periarticular and subcutaneous tissue

• Prognosis of milk-alkali syndrome is generally good.^[1]
• Early diagnosis and treatment, with withdrawal of the offending agent and supportive therapy, usually resolve the symptoms and abnormalities in milk-alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia, alkalosis and renal insufficiency).^[5][4]
