Abstract excerpt

The syndrome of kwashiorkor is a striking phenotype of childhood severe malnutrition (SM) comprising oedema, fatty liver, and skin and hair changes. Despite high fatality, the aetiology and pathophysiology of kwashiorkor remain enigmatic, including the role of serum albumin on oedema development. Here, we demonstrate that serum albumin is associated with the presence and severity of oedema among severely malnouris...
