Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition caused by a lack of protein in the diet with normal or even excessive caloric intake. The disease is most often observed in children in countries with low living standards and limited access to nutritious foods necessary for proper growth and development. The main symptoms of kwashiorkor include edema, changes in skin color, disturbances in the immune system, and changes in psychomotor development. The pathogenesis of this disease is associated not only with protein deficiency, but also with metabolic disorders that lead to depletion of the body's protein reserves and deterioration of the patient's general condition.<\/p>\n
