decrease protein intake ------> hypoalbuminemia ------>decreases oncotic pressure ---> increase capillary permeability ----> 1. decrease bl.volume and RBF leads to secretion of renin that stimulate aldosterone secretion and Na and water retention. 2. hemoconcenetration stimulate ADH production results in water retention.
Dropsy is the former name for oedema
what does endplate oedema mean
Kwashiorkor (Protein malnutrition) is not a disease that it transmitted. Kwashiorkor is caused by a lack of protein in the diet.
Oedema is the accumulation of fluid within any part of the body.
Protein deficiency is very dangerous and can lead to death.
Increase the population's protein intake to prevent kwashiorkor.
No, Kwashiorkor is not infectious. It is a disease that results from malnutrition in less developed countries.
Starvation (lack of protein)
The word edema means swelling.It is not something you GET,it is a symptom of something, many things, infection, brusing,inflamation.
Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency disease. Ascarids (a type of parasitic worm) feeds off protein, denying it to the person, who then gets Kwashiorkor. I should say that it is unlikely that ascarids would, on their own, cause Kwashiorkor. It would be in the context of other contributary factors as well.
which type of lab test suggest for kwashiorkor Or what are the lab test for kwashiokor disease?
Dropsy
