Environmental melamine exposure and Renal diseases
P
eople are still exposed to low-dose melamine in daily-life
environment, even after 2008 toxicmilk food scandal. Our
previous study has found that chronic low-dose melamine
exposure is associated with the risk of renal stones in adults,
but the data about the relationship between environmental
melamine exposure and the risk of renal damage in humans
is still lacking. In this talk, I will present our recent findings
about that link from different susceptible populations and
propose the mechanisms behind that.
