Melamine-associated urinary stone

[摘要] The devastating contamination of milk formula with Melamine, which caused havoc in China, happened almost eight years ago. Although most patients with melamine-associated urinary stone were given conservative medical treatment, the impact was not completely eliminated. Extensive studies are needed to assess chronic effects in the affected population. In this review, we describe the pathogenesis, pathology, clinical manifestations, management and epidemiology; and the need for longer term follow- up of melamine- associated urinary stones.
