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

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. China currently has 13,000 infants hospitalized
