Discovery

  • There is limited information about the historical perspective of milk-alkali syndrome.
  • In 1915, Sippy designed an antacid regimen to neutralize gastric acidity and promote the healing of peptic ulcer disease .
  • The regimen included the hourly administration of milk or cream with Sippy powders (a powder containing 600 mg of magnesium carbonate and 600 mg sodium bicarbonate alternating with a powder containing 600 mg of bismuth subcarbonate and 1200 to 1800 mg of sodium bicarbonate)
  • Toxic reactions associated with alkalosis and renal insufficiency were noted shortly thereafter, but the plasma calcium concentration was not measured.
  • In 1936, a report associated hypercalcemia with the alkalosis and renal failure in patients treated with the Sippy regime.[3]
