PCM - a healthy number of calories are eaten but there's a lack of protein. The blood can't hold the fluids (Organs always leak some "waste" fluids) and without the protein to bind that fluid it'll stay there. Imagine filling a balloon with water.

Due to bloating, the abdominal cavity fills with gas, air, or water. The swollen belly is due to ascites - excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Malnutrition results in blood protein (albumin) levels being very low.

The osmotic pressure causes the fluid to move out of the vessels and into the peritoneal cavity . Hypoalbuminemia and reduced plasma pressure causes the distension due to fluid movement.

Chemical breakdown of food releases gasses; if the gas cannot escape, or it is being produced more quickly than it is able to escape, bloating occurs.
