Answer:
Kwashiorkor is caused by the lack of protein in the child's diet, or lack of protein absorption caused by another disease or infection
Explanation:
Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition. It's most common in some developing regions where babies and children do not get enough protein or other essential nutrients in their diet. The main sign of kwashiorkor is too much fluid in the body's tissues, which causes swelling under the skin.
Symptoms of the disease include: change in skin and hair color (to a rust color) and texture. fatigue. diarrhea. loss of muscle mass.
