Anemia is the first sign to appear in an adult. Swelling of the legs is next, due to a drop in the protein content of the blood. Loss of resistance to infection follows next, along with poor wound healing.

As the body continues to be deprived of essential nutrients and energy, symptoms may progress to include dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and decreased immune function.
