• Weight Loss

  PEU can cause amenorrhea in women and loss of libido in men and women. Wasting of fat and muscle is common in all forms of PEU. In adult volunteers who fasted for 30 to 40 days, weight loss was marked (25% of initial weight). [merckmanuals.com]

  The absence of edema (fluid retention) distinguishes marasmus-like secondary PEM, a gradual wasting process that begins with weight loss and progresses to mild, moderate, or severe malnutrition (cachexia). [healthofchildren.com]

  Symptoms of undernutrition and starvation include cramps, diarrhea, weakness, and weight loss. Protein-energy malnutrition, also called protein-calorie malnutritution, occurs when the diet is low in both proteins and calories. [dietsinfo.org]

Some conditions such as selective IgAD have a good prognosis. [patient.info]

The consistent finding that nutritional status influences patient prognosis underscores the importance of preventing, detecting, and treating malnutrition. Definitions for forms of PEM are in flux. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

Prognosis Most children can lose some of their body weight without side effects, but losing more than 40 percent is usually fatal. Death usually results from heart failure, an electrolyte imbalance, or low body temperature. [healthofchildren.com]

Pathophysiology of malnutrition Malnutrition can be classified as either primary or secondary [1]. Primary malnutrition is caused by inadequate calorie and nutrient intake. In developed societies, calorie intake is usually presumed to be adequate. [alpfmedical.info]

Pathophysiology Malnutrition affects virtually every organ system. Dietary protein is needed to provide amino acids for synthesis of body proteins and other compounds that have various functional roles. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology The initial metabolic response is decreased metabolic rate. To supply energy, the body first breaks down adipose tissue. [merckmanuals.com]
