Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt [patched] -

Glycogen stores deplete rapidly within hours. The body relies heavily on gluconeogenesis utilizing amino acids from skeletal muscle.

This system categorizes severe malnutrition based on weight-for-age percentage compared to the standard median, and the presence or absence of edema: Classification Weight-for-Age (% of standard) 60% – 80% Kwashiorkor 60% – 80% Marasmus Marasmic-Kwashiorkor Gomez Classification Based strictly on weight-for-age percentages: Grade 1 (Mild): 75% to 90% of expected weight. Grade 2 (Moderate): 60% to 74% of expected weight. Grade 3 (Severe): Less than 60% of expected weight. Waterlow Classification

) or Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) once the child regains appetite and edema resolves.

Key Takeaways Content:

Chronic infections (e.g., HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis) or frequent infections (e.g., diarrhea, measles) increase nutritional needs while decreasing intake.

Edema (swelling, particularly in the belly and legs), sparse hair, skin lesions, and a fatty liver. Glycogen stores deplete rapidly within hours

Glycogen reserves are depleted within hours. Fat stores are mobilized next, releasing free fatty acids for energy.

This is the core clinical chapter of your presentation. You tell the audience that PEM is a spectrum, but it has two distinct "faces" or extremes. You present a comparison table, the centerpiece of the slideshow.

Then, you pivot to : This is the story of illness. Even if food is available, conditions like chronic diarrhea, HIV/AIDS, burns, or cancer can increase the body's demand for nutrients while simultaneously reducing the ability to absorb them.
