Most common in children under 5 years of age.
Train caregivers on safe food preparation, hygienic practices, feeding frequency, and scheduled immunizations prior to discharge. 8. Prevention and Public Health Strategies
Decreased hepatic synthesis of plasma proteins (particularly albumin) lowers oncotic pressure, causing fluid to shift into the interstitial spaces. Reduced apolipoprotein synthesis leads to a fatty liver. Free radical damage due to antioxidant depletion also plays a key role. Clinical Features:
PEM is rarely a result of food deprivation alone. It is a complex interplay of factors:
Marasmus vs. Kwashiorkor Content: (Use a table format in PPT)
Transition to F-100 formula (100 kcal/100 ml) or Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to promote rapid weight gain.
Comprehensive Guide to Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM): Clinical Insights, Classification, and Management
A quick tool used in field studies to measure muscle wasting.
: It is not just a lack of protein; it is often a total energy deficit. 2. The Two Faces of PEM: Kwashiorkor vs. Marasmus
Treatment for PEM must be structured and cautious to avoid refeeding syndrome. It is usually done in phases:
| Feature | Marasmus | Kwashiorkor | |---------|----------|--------------| | Edema | No | Yes (bilateral) | | Weight loss | Severe | Moderate | | Skin changes | Rare | Common | | Appetite | Good | Poor | | Serum albumin | Normal/low-normal | Very low | | Prognosis | Better | Worse (higher mortality) |
