Pediatric nephrology
In the fall of 2008, over 52,000 Chinese infants developed kidney stones because of exposure to melamine-contaminated powered infant formula [74] . Acute renal failure (ARF) due to urinary obstruction was common and there were four reported deaths. The Sanlu product that has been incriminated in these cases had a concentration of melamine that resulted in a 100-fold greater intake of melamine than the tolerable daily intake of 0.5 mg/kg newly established by the US Food and Drug Administration .
