Özet

Objective: Melamine (mel), which is illegally added to formula to providing false-positive protein content, has caused acute renal failure in infants due to crystal formation. This study aimed to investigate the nephrotoxic effects of chronic low-dose mel exposure from the weaning period (supplementary food period).
