4.WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MELAMINE IS DIGESTED
´´
Melamine remains inside the kidney. It forms into stones
blocking the tubes. Pain will be eminent and person cannot urinate.
Kidney will then swell.
Although surgery can remove the stones, but it will cause
irreversible kidney damage. It can lead to loss of kidney function
and will require
kidney dialysis or lead to death because of uremia.
What is dialysis In fact, it should be called "blood washing"
it is filtering all of the body's blood into the machine and then go
back to the body.
The whole process takes 4 hours and it is necessary to dialysis once
for every 3 days for the rest of your life
Here is a dialysis center
Large dialysis center
A small hole is required in the arm to insert the
sub-dialysis catheter.
Why is it more serious in babies. Because the kidney is very
small and they drink a lot of milk powder.
Here is a baby undergoing dialysis.

It does not matter how much a human being took
Melamine. The important point is "It cannot be EATEN!"
