Serum magnesium levels in protein-energy malnutrition.
Serum magnesium levels were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 46 malnourished and 12 healthy children, aged 3 months to 5 years. The nutritional status of children was classified in relation to weight for age and height for age using the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and the Waterlow classifications, respectively. NCHS data were used for the purposes of comparison. Serum magnesi...

متن کاملalpha 2HS-glycoprotein serum levels in protein-energy malnutrition.
1. alpha 2HS-glycoprotein accumulates in bone and dentine and its plasma levels could vary in conditions in which the rate of bone formation is altered. 2. The plasma concentration of this protein was found to be lower in thirteen children suffering from protein-energy malnutrition compared with age-matched healthy preschool children. 3. This finding might be associated with the phenomenon of s...
متن کاملTransferrin kinetics are altered in children with severe protein-energy malnutrition.
This study was undertaken to determine the following: 1) the kinetic changes responsible for the depletion and repletion of plasma transferrin (Tr) concentration in children with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM); 2) the role of infection in mediating these changes; and 3) whether plasma Tr concentration is related to body protein status. We measured plasma Tr concentration, and fractional (FSR...

I N Central Anuenicam as in Jamaica2 and Africa,3 childre suffering from the severe protein dleficiency of kwashiorkor have been found to have a very low urinary output of creatinine. Standlard et al. found that during recovery urinary creatinine increases proportionally to the increase in muscle mass. However, about half of their patiemits and most of ours showedi an abrupt transient rise in c...
