Why more common in children?
High nutrient requirement/unit weight. Dependence on adults for food
Water - Higher body water> older childrenFat - Rapid increase in the 1st 6 monthsGrowth - Rapid from birth till six months
Growth rate increase at puberty.
More for boys than girls.

How to assess nutritional
status????? - Clinically
- Anthropometrically - Bio-chemically - Clinical "Signs" Muscular, skeletal Tone. ,muscle wasting
,delayed walking
Abdomen- Hepatomegally.. spleenomegally,ascites.. CVS --Cardiomegally ,oedema CNS--- Apathy, confusion, psychosis, depression.

Pathogenesis:Kwashiorkor: Normal energy intake, Lack of protein Edema:1970.decrease oncotic pressure,
Recent> Increase Renin activity,N a and fluidretention.
Amino aciduria due to proximal tubulardysfunction
Failure of adaptation .Hepatomegaly due to fatty infiltration from

Pathogenesis:
Marasmus: - Lack of all nutrients stimulate cortisone
secretion which result in muscle wasting, thereleased a. a will synthesize albumin to prevent
edema. - Growth and energy expenditure limited, in
response to dietary stress - Adaptation to reduce protein + energy - Biochemical and haematological tests within
normal -Abdomin,flat due to ms wasting, OR distended
due to 2ry lactose intolerance.

Causes:
Social.ecomomic.poverity.ignorance.maternalmalnutrtion.enviromental.
Kwashiorkor: Insufficient intake of protein of good biological value.
Impaired absorption of protein e.g. chronic diarrhoea.
Abnormal losses of protein e.g.severe nephrosis . Severe or prolonged infection
Failure of protein synthesis e.g.
chronic liver diseases.

Marasmus:
Inadequate caloric intake due to insufficient diet .
Improper feeding habits . Emotional deprivation.
Metabolic abnormalities
Congenital malformation
Severe impairment of any body system

Management:
- Accurate historyof social and economic factors.poverety,ignorance. environmental factors.
diet history: maternal malnutrition, breast milk and other feedinghabits .food allergies ,food taboos.chronic illness ,burns .HIV. cystic fibrosis .malignancies .inbornerror of metabolism ,
- Evaluation of growth parameters: weight, height, headcircumference

1) Mild - moderate with no complication
- Home management

Iron replacement 2nd week.
antibiotics for infection
2) Severe marasmic or severe kwashiorkor

2) Severe marasmic or severe kwashiorkorComplicated cases or marasmic kwashiorkorHospital management
INITIAL PHASE
1st day:History --- clinical exam -- rehydrationPrevent heat lossNGT feeding ORS, IVF (glucose and electrolytes)Treatment of infection,bacterial and parasitic.
2nd-7th day:a) Continue rehydration by NGT,
b) start diet by NGT .calories 80-100/kg/day ,Protein 3-4g/kg/d. small volumes2hourly then 4hourly to6 hourly. and increase calories gradually, c) multivitamin. Vit A, folic acid. Without IRON for the 1stweek.
d) Correct anaemia ( packed RBC carefully)
If diarrhea starts or fails to resolve may be lactose intolerance lactose free milk or cow milkprotein intolerance start soy protein hydrolysate formula.

Failure of improvement:
1) Combined marasmic -kwashiorkor
2) Infection TB ,,,parasite
3) drowsiness -Severe hypokalemia-Hepatic failure-Protein intolerance
4) Rapid gain of weight - Cardiac failure- Grossly disturbed metabolism- Unable to tolerate the rate of re feeding (oedema)
5) Profuse diarrhea- GIT infection- Food intolerance (discharidase)- Other nutrients deficiency
