its Kwashiorkar. If kwashiorkor is suspected, your doctor will first examine you to check for an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) and swelling. Next, blood and urine tests may be ordered to measure the level of protein and sugar in your blood.

Other tests may be performed on your blood and urine to measure signs of malnutrition and lack of protein. These tests may look for muscle breakdown and assess kidney function, overall health, and growth.
These tests include:

arterial blood gas

blood urea nitrogen (BUN)

blood levels of creatinine

blood levels of potassium

urinalysis
