Definition PEM is a kind of malnutrition caused by inadequate dietary intake or some diseases occurs commonly in children under 3 years of age. Kwashiorkor Marasmus
Definition ➢ PEM is a kind of malnutrition caused by inadequate dietary intake or some diseases, occurs commonly in children under 3 years of age. Kwashiorkor Marasmus
Etiology The Primary PEM Inadequate food intake Children under 3 yrs The Secondary causes Increased nutrient needs Disorder in nutrient absorption Increased body metabolism
Etiology ➢ The Primary PEM Inadequate food intake Children under 3 yrs ➢ The Secondary causes Increased nutrient needs Disorder in nutrient absorption Increased body metabolism
Pathophysiology Metabolism disorder Protein metabolism anabolism catabolism I; hypoalbuminemia Fat metabolism mobilized fat store, acetone body t; metabolism acidosis; fatty liver Carbohydrate: low hepatin, hypoglycemia o Fluid electrolyte disorders hypernatremia; edema; potassium disorder; acid-base disturbances
Pathophysiology ➢ Metabolism disorder ⚫ Protein metabolism anabolism & catabolism ; hypoalbuminemia ⚫ Fat metabolism mobilized fat store, acetone body ; metabolism acidosis; fatty liver ⚫ Carbohydrate: low hepatin, hypoglycemia ⚫ Fluid & electrolyte disorders hypernatremia; edema; potassium disorder; acid-base disturbances
Pathophysiology Disorders of Organ Tissue function ● Failure to thrive Lower digested function: diarrhea e Central nerve system: apathy, or irrita bility Cardiovascular system: pulse slow, Low BP o lower renal function: urine amount decrease low immunologic function: easy to be infected
